BOCELLI FOR EASTER

Who’s in the mood for a little sacred music on Easter? Andrea Bocelli will perform solo in an empty cathedral, the Duomo in Milan, which will be livestreamed on his YouTube channel. The stream will start at 10am PT/1pm ET.

"On the day in which we celebrate the trust in a life that triumphs, I'm honored and happy to answer 'Sì' to the invitation of the City and the Duomo of Milan," Bocelli said.

Bocelli’s label, Sugar Music, and Universal Music Group are producing the concert promoted by the City of Milan and the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo.

Accompanying Bocelli will be the cathedral’s organist, Emanuele Vianelli, playing one of world's largest pipe organs. Selections will include “Ave Maria” and Mascagni's “Sancta Maria.”

The Andrea Bocelli Foundation has started a fundraiser to help hospitals purchase instrumentation and equipment necessary to protect medical staffs.
