About this Event
Learn fun, easy to sing Italian songs with award-winning Swiss-Italian singer Iris Moné. In the spirit of the Sanremo Festival, happening this month, we’ll sing together songs by Ricchi e Poveri, Raffaella Carrá, and Jovanotti. The exact songs will be a suprise shared on the spot. We will all participate in this no-pressure choir, sharing the joy of singing together.
Iris is an expert teacher and will guide this group through a wonderful experience, perfect for both adults and kids 9+. No need to be able to sing or speak Italian. Words will be projected on a large screen, and Iris will be our maestra.
When you sing in another language, something releases and a new kind of freedom emerges. Singing is a wonderful tool for both kids and adults who are learning Italian. If Italian is your first language, there's something magical about reconnecting with songs that might be familiar with fellow singers.
We encourage everyone to be inspired by Arlecchino (see pic below) and dress up in as many colors as you have. Carnevale sweets aka chiacchiere (frappe, cenci, crostoli, galani, bugie... depending on the region) will follow. A "Cook with Roberto" Board Donation, which will provide all participants with the precious recipe.
All are welcome! Tutt* benvenut*!
Kids 9 and up, accompanied by their parents, are welcome and come free!
