Matteo Bocelli: An Intimate "Conversazione"
Westport welcomes internationally acclaimed Italian contemporary pop artist Matteo Bocelli for an intimate conversation with radio host Jon Kamal, exploring his music, creative process, international career, and the inspiration behind his newest album.
Matteo Bocelli has already performed on some of the world's biggest stages and tasted musical stardom—sharing his sensitive songs and dynamic vocal performances with listeners around the globe. As the son and sometimes collaborator of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli, he's been instilled with a lifelong musical education and an endlessly curious nature, on full display on his debut solo album Matteo, a bold step into his own spotlight.
Immersed in music from a young age, Matteo began taking piano lessons as a child. While his father wanted him to learn about the world before plunging into a music career, he found his calling as a teenager. "I'd always loved music since I was a little kid," he says. "But I realized that music was becoming something more than just a passion around the age of 16 or 17." His debut live performance at age 18 was at Rome's Colosseum, and in 2018 he and his father released "Fall on Me," a stirring duet about the relationship between parent and child that has amassed over 400 million global streams to date.
Matteo Bocelli will be honored with the inaugural Rock the Walls Award.
Registration is required. Admission is complimentary. Seating is limited.
