On Friday, June 28th, at 20:30 PM, the Teatro Troisi in Naples will host the show "Loro di Napoli," organized by the Caliendo Academy. The evening's performers will be students of the prestigious music school founded by singer-songwriter and maestro Gianfranco Caliendo, on the occasion of the Academy's twenty-sixth anniversary.
### A Musical Journey Through Naples
Every year, the Caliendo Academy organizes a grand thematic show to mark the end of the school year. This year, the focus is on Naples, its celebrated artists, and its songs. The title, "Loro di Napoli," highlights the immense creativity produced by the city throughout the ages: from the late 800th century, through post-war music, to the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and up to the present day. It will be a wonderful journey among the artists born in this culturally rich land.
### Success of the Vernacular Song and Charity
The idea for the show was born following the recent surge in success that brought the song back to the global charts, including the famous Billboard charts. As is tradition, the event is tied to a charity project; this year, proceeds will go to the Cittadinanza Attiva association.
### "Loro di Napoli" Award to Marsica De Angelis
During the event, the “Loro di Napoli” award will be given to the singer Marsica De Angelis, a former student of Gianfranco Caliendo and the Academy. The young artist has achieved enormous success with millions of plays and views, confirming her talent.
