Strings of Italy with Festa Popolare

The talented Italian-Canadian musicians of Festa Popolare perform folk music from across the Italian peninsula and islands. 

Featuring both centuries-old and modern instruments, the concert showcases the iconic sounds of the mandolin and violin alongside the guitar, mandola, chitarra battente, and more. From the charmingly simple to the stunning and virtuosic; from familiar favourites to surprising styles seldom heard outside Italy, this ensemble will bring the country’s rich musical heritage to the Columbus Centre for one unforgettable night. 

Cash bar available.
