On Wednesday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m., tenor Sal Chiarelli returns to the library, and on Thursday, June 15 at 7:00 p.m., Raconteur Radio will present “Casablanca.” The library is located at 550 East Broad Street.

The coloring patterns the library will provide are geometric, intricate and designed to appeal to adults. All other materials, as well as coffee and tea, will be provided.

The next coloring workshops for the summer will take place Tuesday, July 11 and Tuesday, August 8 at 10:00 a.m. The programs are free and open to the public. No need to register, just stop by and be prepared to have some fun.

Tenor Sal Chiarelli will sing popular, traditional, and classical Italian/Neapolitan Songs; and music from Italian opera, musical theater and Italian/American love ballads.

Mr. Chiarelli sings in English, Italian and in an authentic Neapolitan dialect. Some of songs he is known for are O sole mio, Parlami d’amore Mariu (Tell Me That You Love Me Tonight), Be My Love, Vicino Mare (I Have But One Heart), Maria Mari!(Way Marie), That’s Amore, and Torna a Surriento (Come Back to Sorrento).

A native of New York City, he was vocally trained in both Italy and New York City for the opera stage. He has been heard on television and radio as well as on the opera stages of both North America and Europe. He has performed as a soloist on satellite television reaching seventy five countries around the world.

At the very outset of Chiarelli’s vocal training he was one of only three Tenors chosen in the United States to participate in a five week concert tour of Europe. Performing to capacity-sold out crowds, he has an excellent reputation on and off stage and has a loyal following of fans. Registration for this program is recommended.

Raconteur Radio will present the memorable drama “Casablanca” as a radio performance. In this classic film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, all the unforgettable characters, scenes, and dialogue came together in a popular nightclub set in Casablanca, 1941.
