This annual week-long gala sponsored by a partnership between Celebrity Fight Night and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation has raised millions upon millions of dollars for charitable causes across the globe.

 

My role as Creative Consultant put me on a small team of artistic directors tasked with producing 6 or 7 world-class, black-tie concerts and recitals throughout the weeklong gala each summer in Italy. 

​

2017's gala was hosted by Andrea Bocelli in Rome; musical offerings by Bocelli, Elton John, Reba McEntire, and others included recitals at the Italian President's palatial residence and history's first concert ever at the Coloseum in Rome.

​

2018's gala took place from Florence to Verona. The festivities culminated with an elegant gala dinner sponsored by Stefano Ricci, with an accompanying silent auction, held at Palazzo Pitti. Actor Morgan Freeman and musician-producer David Foster were among the approximately 200 A-listers and philanthropists in attendance.

​

Documentaries have been produced on both the 2017 and 2018 galas, chronicling the events that are responsible for raising incredible amount of money and awareness for charities across the world.
