In his first major solo concert for television, Friar Alessandro performs sacred standards like 'Panis Angelicus' and 'Ave Maria,' in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy, the 800 year-old church that houses the burial place of St. Francis. The tenor also performs songs which share his spiritual message, including 'Here I Am, Lord,' 'Gaelic Blessing,' and many more.
Against the astonishingly beautiful medieval Life of St. Francis frescoes by Giotto that cover the entire interior of the Basilica's sanctuary, Alessandro is accompanied by the Orchestra da Camera di Perugia, the choir of the Basilica, and the childrens' choir Coro Aurora in this rousing, inspirational concert.
