Music as Prayer
In life's most sacred moments, music becomes prayer and touches the soul of those who listen
Where I sing
I carry my voice into the churches, villas and squares of Italy: from piano bars to cruise ships, from theatres to weddings. I perform my liturgical and sacred repertoire according to the canons of the Italian bel canto school, the vocal tradition that made Italy famous throughout the world. This page gathers the places where I have sung and where I sing: if you searched for wedding musicians near me, scroll through the list: your town, or the one next to it, is very likely here. And if it is not, it does not matter: I travel anywhere, so I am near anyone getting married in any of these places.
A voice that travels
Every church has its own acoustics, every town its own traditions. In the mother church of a Nebrodi village the Ave Maria reaches everyone without any help; in a great city cathedral it has to be allowed to breathe beneath the vaults. Before every ceremony I listen to the space, agree everything with the parish priest and the organist, and prepare the music for that exact place. That is how you come to know a land: one yes at a time.

Every town has its church, and every church has its voice. There are no small ceremonies: only places waiting for the right music.
