Dubbed “America’s new romantic singing sensation,” Brooklyn-born, Nashville-based tenor Anthony Nunziata will join the South Florida Symphony Orchestra to kick off the John Knox Village Symphony Pops Series Monday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m.
This memory-nudging concert will celebrate tunes made famous by Old Blue Eyes himself along with Rat Pack buddies Dean Martin and Sammy Davis. Jr. Songs include “Once in a Lifetime,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “Just in Time,” “That’s Amore,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “Unchained Melody” and “The Prayer.”
Esteemed for capturing “the authentic songwriting passion of a young Billy Joel with the soulfulness of Ed Sheeran,” Anthony Nunziata has performed more than 400 concerts in the past decade, headlining major performing arts centers, theaters, symphony concert halls, jazz clubs and private events. He was among featured artists who performed at a benefit concert for injured public relations pro Gary Schweikhart at the Arts Garage in Delray Beach.
Anthony also recently co-headlined Carnegie Hall for two sold-out concerts with the New York Pops Symphony Orchestra. His debut jazz/pop release The Love Album is now available on all streaming services. For more information, visit www.anthonynunziata.com.
