In honor of National Joe Day, internationally-renowned tenor, Joseph Spinella will be the featured artist singing at Cafe Baci on March 27, 2012.
SARASOTA, FL, March 20, 2012
Cafe Baci announces a night of 'Classical Neapolitan Songs' at its restaurant in Sarasota, FL. On Tuesday, March 27, 2012, internationally-renowned tenor, Joseph Spinella will be the featured artist to celebrate National Joe Day.The origins of this holiday are rather murky, but the gist is that everyone can call themselves 'Joe' on this day. If you don't like your first name, you can call yourself Joe. Although if you are already named Joe, well you just have to be grateful your parents didn't name you 'Rutabaga.'
In honor of this occasion, a real Joe will be singing classic, Italian favorites, such as Rondine al Nido and O Sole Mio. Accompanied by versatile pianist, Andrew Lapp, the lively entertainment is a crowd-pleaser. Of course, many in the family will be tempted to sing along. Not to worry, audience participation is encouraged.
A native of Sarasota, Spinella was awarded a scholarship to Manhattan School of Music in New York City. While in school, he was discovered by Paul Nadler, one of the Metropolitan Opera conductors and was invited to work with Metropolitan Opera coaches in NYC. This began his regular sessions with Joan Dorneman, who was also Luciano Pavarotti's vocal coach for thirty years.
Spinella has participated in Master Classes with Birgit Nielsen, Eleanor Steber, and Regina Resnik. His tenor voice quality was described by Princeton's weekly newspaper, Town Topics, as "a solid Metropolitan Opera level performer."
His current album, Spinella Tenor of Illusions, is available on Amazon.com and has been featured on various radio stations in the U.S. The album features poperatic arias and traditional music that exemplifies classic Neapolitan songs. Backed by the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra, this all-Italian album contains 13 songs and displays Spinella's mastery of bell'arte del canto.
"Spinella's voice reminds us of the great tenors like Caruso, Lanza and Pavarotti. The expressive tenor voice and delivery of these songs, by Spinella, demonstrates to us why they remain classics," reports World Book and News.
Cafe Baci is located at 4001 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231. Reservations are required as seating is limited (941) 921-4848.
