Alverno Presents: Barbara Furtuna

Barbara Furtuna, an a cappella male quartet from Italy, will perform Saturday, October 31 at 8:00 p.m. in Alverno College’s Chapel of Mary Immaculate. The Corsican ensemble, which finds its inspiration in the island’s oldest traditions, has been performing internationally for the past 10 years. Some of their more prestigious collaborations include works with Placido Domingo, the baroque ensemble L’Arpeggiata and the Persian music ensemble Constantinople.

A brotherhood of heavenly voices, Barbara Furtuna’s soulful and intricate interweaving of harmonies is a soaring vocal experience. You can get a sneak peak of their performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOi0T1GZF5s
