According to TIF, the programme called “Canzone – Sing a Song of Joy” will focus on songs of hope and happiness, understanding and love that have been selected from the repertoire of groups like “the Beatles (Imagine, Eleanor Rigby, Let it Be, Hey Jude) Boney M (Canzone, Rivers of Babylon, Brown Girl) ABBA (Fernando, Waterloo, Dancing Queen) the MOVIES
(Raindrops, Over the Rainbow) as well as the Drifters, the Bee Gees, Michael Jackson and
others.”

Moreover, it was outlined that the younger singers will perform Disney selections, such as ‘A Million Dreams, Try Everything and a Whole New World,’ in  addition to Folk Songs.

The series will end with the music of Christmas in the last two weeks of December.
