    Philadelphia ’s own ‘Popera’ singer Tonia Tecce will delight audiences with her outstanding vocal talents in a special benefit performance, “An Evening of Song with Tonia Tecce.” Spearheaded by Tecce, the event is a special cause for her and pays homage to her beloved late Master Voice instructor, Florence Berggren. All proceeds from ticket sales will directly benefit the Florence Berggren Voice Scholarship Fund at Temple University’s Boyer College of Music and Dance. Proudly supported by Jacobs Music Company, Tecce will perform the music of Broadway and the Hollywood Screen, as well as light classical and operatic favorites—From Puccini to Gershwin. Highlights include Tecce singing songs from her sophomore solo album Smile, accompanied by the Byron Olson Chamber Ensemble led by renowned conductor, Byron Olson. Theater-goers are in for another treat when internationally-acclaimed Metropolitan Opera star Diana Soviero, delivers a personal, heartfelt address, ‘A Special Tribute To Florence Berggren,’ who like Tecce, feels greatly contributed to her singing career. This one-night-only engagement will also feature a performance of jazz standards by Temple University’s Boyer College Jazz Trio including faculty, students and a special guest.
