Joe Soprani performs in operetta ‘La Giara’, Philadelphia – USAby Rob Howard |
 Accordionist Joe Soprani performs performs in the concert premiere of the operetta ‘La Giara’ (The Water Jug), by Patricia King, on Friday June 20th, 8pm, the World Cafe Live, Philadelphia. ‘La Giara’ combines Italian folk music and opera with Brazilian Choro and jazz, telling the story of Patricia King’s family’s emigration from Sicily to Philadelphia. Using dramatic and comedic compositions, the operetta expresses themes relevant to gender oppression, migration and cultural losses that families experienced in adapting to a new world. Joe Soprani, also an arranger and composer, has performed in concert halls, theatres, TV shows and hotels. He has the distinction of being the only accordionist in the history of the Philadelphia Orchestra to appear as a featured soloist under Eugene Ormandy. His lengthy CV includes being accordion soloist with the USAF Band, performing with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti and rock star Jon Bon Jovi, and for President Eisenhower at the White House.
