AFTER THE GREAT SUCCESS AND MAGICAL EXPERIENCE OF LAST SUMMERS I am very happy and proud to announce that I will be leading THE FIFTH MUSICAL PILGRIMAGE to the sacred sites of the Black Madonna in Southern Italy, from August 4-16, 2018!I will take people on the same journey that I have taken over many years as a devotion to the Black Madonna, which, in 1990, inspired me to write the Folk Opera THE VOYAGE OF THE BLACK MADONNA together with my music director John La Barbera. A great feature of this tour is the local folk traditions, the music of the tarantella, the dancing, and the fantastic food, all freshly prepared according to the regional traditions. Here you will find the most amazing wine in the favored land of Dionysus, god of Ecstasy and Wine!
