Today, the Empire State Building will light up in blue and white, the colors of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, to celebrate the acclaimed "ABF Voices of" project, which consists of choruses for children from disadvantaged backgrounds developed with a very unique methodology.

The project is currently active in Haiti and Italy, with a third being launched in Jerusalem in 2023. The Bocellis will then perform together at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York on December 14, followed by appearances together on Live with Kelly and Ryan and THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JIMMY FALLON on Dec. 15.

In addition, a new short "The Bocelli's meet the THE SIMPSONS in Feliz Navidad will launch on Disney+ on December 15. The Bocelli's rendition of "Feliz Navidad," which appears as part of their project with THE SIMPSONS and on the new album comes out the same day.

Andrea, Matteo and Virginia Bocelli were recently interviewed by CBS Sunday Morning for an intimate portrait that also gave a special look inside the making of A Family Christmas. They also took part in NBC's televised "90th Annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center" with a heart-warming rendition of their new holiday single "The Greatest Gift." The Bocelli's also released a unique collaboration with the vocal quintet Pentatonix, "Do You Hear What I Hear," available here.

A Family Christmas, features an assortment of seasonal favorites from around the globe plus two new original songs. Each Bocelli gets a chance to shine on the album with solo tracks, duets and trios. Matteo Bocelli has launched his own successful solo recording career after signing to Capitol Records in 2019.

He shot to fame in 2018 after duetting with his father on the hit song "Fall On Me" from Andrea's best-selling album, Sì, which debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. and U.K. charts. For Virginia Bocelli, this marks her first appearance on an album, having previously joined her father for a spine-tingling performance of "Hallelujah" during 2020's hugely popular Believe in Christmas concert, livestreamed from the Teatro Regio di Pama.

Andrea, Matteo and Virginia are currently amidst a U.S. tour in support of A Family Christmas, to be followed by future dates for Andrea in February and May 2023, with shows across the nation and two dates in Los Angeles returning to the legendary Hollywood Bowl. Tickets are available now here.
