Tune in to NJN for Patrizio Concert Tickets
Saturday, December 9 at 6 pm and 8 pm; Monday, December 11 at 8 pm

Trenton – Tune in to NJN Public Television for an encore presentation of Patrizio: The New Voice of Romance on Saturday, December 9 at 6 pm and 8 pm, and Monday, December 11 at 8 pm. The New Voice of Romance showcases the 27-year-old singing sensation on-stage performing songs from his debut album The Italian. During the broadcast, viewers will have the opportunity to make a contribution to NJN and receive tickets to see Patrizio live at an NJN benefit concert on Monday, April 23, 2007 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. A limited number of passes to attend a “meet and greet” with Patrizio the night of the event are also available. For information only, call the NJN Patrizio Hotline at 800-553-2303 or visit njn.net.

Inspired by the singers of yesteryear, Patrizio harkens back to a time when a man would not dream of singing on stage in anything less than a suit, shoes, polished, clean-shaven, hair neatly brushed, with a dab of cologne behind the ears. To listen to this young talent is to immerse oneself in the soundtrack of a world familiar from film and television – from Federico Fellini, Sophia Loren, and Gina Lollabrigida to The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos. “My music is as Italian as pasta in an Italian kitchen,” says Patrizio. “These songs are timeless classics. To me, crooning is more than a way of singing, it's a way of life! And I want to share that with a new audience.”
