On Wednesday, June 18 at 9 p.m. ET, CBC Television presents GINO VANNELLI: CANTO, a brand new hour-long special produced by CBC TV. Through the course of the show, Vannelli guides viewers through his career from its roots in Montreal to his present life in Oregon. Along the way, he shares the sources of inspiration that led to his new album, Canto, a unique blending of pop sensibility along with a classical temperament that gives way to a style of music and singing that defies definition.

The show features songs taped live in concert in Copenhagen, and interviews with brothers Joe and Ross, longtime musician friends Alain Caron and Bill Meyers, soprano singer Janet Chvatal, voice coach Tom Blaylock and friend and lyricist Saverio Principini. The end result is a remarkable journey through time that explores how the pop star and sex symbol from the '70s morphed into the serious singer and composer of orchestral and vocal works we know today.

Check local listings for details!

As you've probably noticed, we now have links to French & Italian versions of the site. After checking in on the message boards from time to time, it seems as though we should have quite a few more languages!!! Gino truly is a world-wide star, it seems. I would ask our non-English friends' patience, as occasionally there will be a delay in updating those sites, while we wait for translations.

CANTO, is of course, now released in Canada. Around the world, you should be able to get CANTO in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico, Germany & Switzerland. The album will be released in Brazil in June and in the US on July 1st (RCA Victor).

May 13, 2003

Gino's first confirmed tour date is on the schedule! He will be performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival on Sunday July 6th! Bookmark the Tour page for more dates, coming soon!
