July 17, 2018 – (Bayville, NJ): The Michéal Castaldo concert held at St. Barnabas Church in Bayville last month raised $4500 for the church, and the parishioners were thrilled to meet and take photos with him after the show.
Castaldo’s Sacred Sounds and Italian Spiritual Songs—A Traditional Italian Spiritual Concert featured classic Italian songs of faith from his chart-topping best-selling CDs, “Aceto,” “Olive You,” and “Cinecitta Canta.” He received several standing ovations throughout the show, and his string quartet received thunderous applause for its lively and inspiring musical compositions between sets.
“I am truly gratified that my Italian Spiritual Concerts not only entertain but also bring such joy and raise thousands of dollars for churches and schools around the country,” notes Castaldo. “I am happy sharing my musical talent in this way benefits so many. It is so much more than simply entertainment.”
