An Evening of "La Canzone Napoletana Classica" with Joe Caliva

Singer and guitarist Joe Caliva presents an evening of "La Canzone Napoletana Classica," or classic songs from Naples, Italy. Through these timeless melodies, Caliva will celebrate the rich history, culture, and spirit of Naples in this unique performance.

As the son of second-generation Italian-American parents, Caliva connects deeply to this music, which once served as a cherished link to Italy for immigrants who arrived in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The songs will be performed in the original Neapolitan language, accompanied by stories, visuals and historical context shared in English.

The Plastic Club is a non-profit organization that has supported and nourished artists since 1897, offering numerous weekly drawing workshops, monthly exhibitions, and lively programming of film, dance, music, and poetry at their historic Camac Street location and online. Caliva, also an amateur visual artist, is a frequent participant in the weekly drawing workshops.

Admission is FREE and light refreshments will be served.
