Staten Island, NY (PRWEB) October 21, 2014 -- “From Bethlehem to Belvedere,” a traditional Christmas concert featuring award-winning Italian tenor Micheal Castaldo and benefitting Casa Belvedere, will kick-off the Staten Island holiday season on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. at Notre Dame Academy, 78-134 Howard Ave. Castaldo will perform classic Christmas carols from his best-selling album, "Extravergine: Christmas in the Mediterranean," accompanied by the Richmond County Orchestra Strings and by the Notre Dame Academy Choir. Tickets are available for $25 for general seating and $75 for VIP seating and reception including Italian Christmas-themed food, treats and Pozone Vodka holiday cocktails, at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/884432, or by calling Brown Paper Tickets’ 24/7 event concierges at 800-838-3006.

"This concert will capture your heart and imagination with the spirit of the holidays and the Old World charm of a traditional Italian Christmas," said Gina Biancardi, founder of Casa Belvedere, which has preserved Old World traditions for years of families who have celebrated there since the Italian Cultural Foundation was founded in 2009. "Even those who don't speak Italian will be moved by the setting, the songs, and by Micheal's powerful and melodic voice."

Live performance of songs from Castaldo’s chart-topping CD will include "Oh Santa Notte" (Oh Holy Night), "E Nato Il Bambino Gesu" (What Child Is This?), "Batte Nel Cuore, Suona Natale" (Little Drummer Boy), "Gioia Nel Mondo" (Joy To The World), "Puoi Sentire Quel' Che Sent Io?" (Do You Hear What I Hear?), and "Astro Del Ciel" (Silent Night). Castaldo translated the well-known Polish carol, "Jezus Malusuenki" now entitled, "Piccolo Jesu," which will also be featured along with "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle," "VA PENSIERO," and "Adeste Fideles."

Investors Bank and Brown Paper Tickets are partnering with Micheal Castaldo and Casa Belvedere to help promote the Italian culture and heritage at this Italian Christmas concert. This program is also supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Tickets are also available in-person through the following ticketing partners: the Coccia Foundation, UNICO, Sempre Avanti, St. Brigids Italian Club, St. Rocco's, Italian American Museum, Italian Board of Guardians, Italian American Labor Council, The Gables Historic Inn and Restaurant, St. John's University, Coqui Designs, WHY, and Woodpecker Press.
