This concert will capture your heart and imagination with the spirit of the holidays in the beautiful century-old, Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Church in the Italian section (Town Plot neighborhood) of Waterbury, CT.

Over the past ten years Michéal Castaldo has entertained more than 500,000 people across the USA, Canada, and Europe with creative and rousing renditions of classic Italian songs. Castaldo's performances are enchanting, heartfelt, and authentic. This will be Micheal's 5th Christmas concert in Waterbury. He treats the audience to stories, spoken in English and Italian, in between songs that share moments from his Italian upbringing, tidbits about his musical journey, and insight that went into his song choices. All songs are sung in Italian with a few sung in English and Latin as well.

Live performance of songs from Castaldo's Extravergine CD will include "Oh Santa Notte" (Oh Holy Night), "E Nato Il Bambino Gesu" (What Child Is This?), "Batte Nel Cuore, Suona Natale" (Little Drummer Boy), "Gioia Nel Mondo" (Joy To The World), "Puoi Sentire Quel' Che Sent Io?" (Do You Hear What I Hear?), and "Astro Del Ciel" (Silent Night).

Fr. Frederick M. Aniello, pastor of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Church, built in 1923, states, "The magnificence of this House of Prayer, remarkable for its pure Lombard Romanesque architecture, the monumental marble alter towering in the sanctuary, the elegance of the unique stained-glass windows and the flood of light effused throughout the interior of the church coupled with the majestic harmony of the organ music and the rhythmic concert of the bells ringing in the steeple, dazzled the senses and inspired one and all to praise and glorify God".

He immediately captured my attention with his magnificent voice and reverent presence as he sang beautiful Christmas hymns. We are so excited, with the beauty of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Church as his venue, for Micheal to bring the Christmas message of love to the hearts of all present and will help us prepare for the celebration of the birth of Christ."
