BRAND NEW WORKSHOPS!!
SONGS OR POEMS?
A playful approach to Franco Battiato’s songs and Italian grammar
Tuesday July 14th and 28th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm - (2 meetings) - $25
Franco Battiato (born March 23, 1941) is one of the most famous Italian singer-songwriters. He is also a composer, a filmmaker and a painter.
He is considered one of the most original personalities in Italian music from the 1970s to now.
Battiato’s songs are dreamy, controversial collages of images and sensations, very experimental and rich.
His peculiar songwriting gives us a great chance to explore the Italian language in all its musicality, and his perfect pronunciation of words makes this task easier.
Join us for a musical workshop and review Italian grammar while learning about Italian contemporary music, songwriting and poetry all at the same time.
