Italian American Heritage Month Concert & Gelato
Date & Time: Sunday, October 25, 2026 2-4PM
Join us as we celebrate Italian American Heritage Month at Bethany Arts Community! The day’s activities will start at 2:00 p.m. with a joyful concert featuring musician Dominic Chianese, followed by yummy Gelato at 3:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
Dominic Chianese is an American actor and musician born on February 24, 1931, in New York. Famous for playing Corrado “Uncle Junior” Soprano in The Sopranos and Johnny Ola in The Godfather Part II, he is also a dedicated humanitarian who founded Joy Through Art to bring live performances to seniors.
Dominic spent over 30 years personally volunteering and performing in nursing homes before formalizing the initiative. He championed music therapy as a tool to spark memory and joy in seniors, particularly those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia, earning recognition from the Alzheimer’s Association. A talented tenor and guitarist, he often incorporates traditional Italian and Neapolitan folk songs into his public appearances and recordings.
Join Dominic as he entertains us with Neapolitan and American Folk songs as well as anecdotes from his music and acting career. Dominic will have accompaniment with him as well. Don’t miss it!
This program is in partnership with Ossining Public Library. Registration is not required to attend.
Seating is limited!
