Natale a Perugia Holiday Sing-Along Dec. 15, 2024

A mix of SPSCA members and Horizon House residents gathered on December 15 to learn about Perugian holiday traditions and sing Christmas carols in Italian at the holiday version of our popular Incontro Musicale sing-along events. SPSCA Board Member and native perugina Elisabetta Valentini regaled us with remarks in Italian and English on her memories of Christmas in Perugia, then SPSCA member pianist Karin McCullough played traditional Italian holiday music for the audience to sing along to. One highlight was a moving solo performance of "Ave Maria" by a professional tenor. "You brought Christmas to us!" one delighted resident commented. Another participant said it had been her favorite holiday event each month. We hope you will join us at an Italian sing-along in 2025!
