Andrea Del Principe

Andrea Del Principe is an internationally acclaimed, platinum recording Italian tenor and songwriter whose classical education and training allow hims to beautifully blend opera and pop. Del Principe’s special technique is seamless and as he states, “I love to speak to people’s hearts, choosing to interpret a song by changing the style of the sound according to the meaning of the words and music.” Celebrated around the world some memorable concerts have happened in Padova, Italy, Beijing China, Barcelona Spain, Hamburg Germany, Sydney Australia, and Palm Beach Florida. Andrea loves performing around the world but holds a special appreciation for America and though he has developed a substantial worldwide fan base, New York has always been a dream location. And the historic BMS Playhouse was selected because of its history, the organization’s mission and the intimate theatre setting.

Gaia Del Principe

“When our daughter was six we discovered a pure talent for singing.”, Andrea Del Principe. Ten years later since Gaia is on summer break she is joining her dad for a special summer concert series. This is the first time we will be performing together in America. Gaia’s voice is magical and this is a music experience that the entire family will enjoy.
