Let's Sing in Italian! - by CWEAStarts 7 May, Thursday, 12:30pm til 1:30pm.
$40 for 8 weeks or $10 per casual session. Sign up here: https://www.cwea.org.nz/groups/#lets-sing-italian Does the sound of Volare make you swoon? Does Bocelli's rendition of Con Te Partirò bring a tear to the eye? Does the uplifting refrain of “Jamme, Jamme” from Funiculì, Funiculà lift the spirits? Consider joining the lively “Singing in Italian” group at WEA. This welcoming group requires no prior knowledge of the Italian language. Italian-speaking members are available to assist with pronunciation and diction while melodies are explored under Deen's direction. The group embraces a collaborative spirit, generously sharing skills and encouraging song suggestions, as long as the sheet music is provided. With a relaxed and approachable atmosphere, no operatic experience is necessary—just a willingness to participate and let the music transport you to Italy for an hour. |
