Modern Languages Department Hosts Italian Singer Irene Jalenti

On Friday, our Modern Languages Department hosted Italian singer Irene Jalenti and pianist Joshua Espinoza who performed a range of popular classical and contemporary Italian songs—such as "O sole mio" and "Con te partirò"—for our Italian students and our sixth-graders. Irene has performed with a variety of famous singers, as well as at the White House for former President Barack Obama. Dr. Rossana Barbera also provided brief explanations on the evolution of the Italian song tradition from the 1850s to today and the mutual influences between Italian songs and American songs through several decades.
