This concert will capture your heart and imagination with the spirit of the holidays in the beautiful two-century-old, Alden Presbyterian Church in Alden, NY. Even those who don’t speak Italian will be moved by the setting, the songs, and Micheal's powerful and melodic voice. 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 first Christmas concert in the Buffalo metropolitan area. 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). Castaldo translated the well-known Polish carol, "Jezus Malusuenki" now entitled, "Piccolo Jesu," which will also be featured along with "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle," "Va Pensiero," and "Adeste Fideles."

Concert Presenter Mrs. Maria Foss, states, “Micheal Castaldo is the perfect way to move the Christmas spirit and holiday mood into your heart and home. I have had the privilege to hear Micheal in concert and the honor to have him sing at two personal life-changing events; once for my fathers funeral and another to celebrate the gift of 70 years of life for my mother. Please join us in what will be the most spectacular voice you will ever hear live. Thank you for coming to Buffalo, Micheal.”
