La Seconda Gioventù (The Second Youth) Choir Seniors Week Concert

Event summary

Highlights

  • Free concert celebrating Italian migrant heritage and stories
  • Performance by a 50-member choir singing in Italian and regional dialects
  • Commemoration of Seniors Week 2026 at the historic Fremantle Town Hall
  • Opportunity for multi-generational connection and shared afternoon tea
The choir consists of up to 50 members, including many individuals who migrated to Australia during the mid-20th century. Led by Dr. Simone Marino, the ensemble performs songs in Italian and various regional dialects, reflecting their life experiences and enduring connections to their places of birth. The program is designed to be inclusive, involving family carers and supporting individuals living with dementia through the familiarity of song.

The event emphasizes the role of music in maintaining identity and fostering a sense of belonging across different generations. It serves as a social gathering where second and third-generation Italian Australians can engage with their cultural roots alongside their parents and grandparents, highlighting the power of community in reducing social isolation.

Doors for the concert open at 12:30 PM, with the main performance scheduled for the early afternoon. In the spirit of community connection, guests are invited to contribute to a shared afternoon tea by bringing a platter to the venue.
