Anthony Nunziata to Headline Benefit Concert June 18th at Engeman

On June 18th, the talented, award-winning vocalist, Anthony Nunziata is giving a benefit concert in Northport at the John W. Engeman Theater, to raise money for the building of a new Ronald McDonald House on the Stony Brook Children's Hospital campus. This will be the first Ronald McDonald House located in Suffolk County, and only the second on Long Island. The other Ronald McDonald House is in New Hyde Park in Nassau County, located adjacent to Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

It has been reported that the Suffolk County facility will be a 3-story, 60,000 sq. ft. building that will include 30 private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms for families, a media center, outdoor playground, interactive playrooms, a community kitchen providing free meals made by volunteers and fully stocked pantries, a fitness center, meditation room and laundry facilities.

A Ronald McDonald House allows families who have infants and children being treated for cancer and other catastrophic illnesses to be close together, providing food, accommodations and family activities during their difficult journey.

Anthony Nunziata, dubbed "America's new romantic singing sensation," is a classical-crossover tenor. Nunziata is a unique Brooklyn-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter, actor and entertainer who brings his soulful voice to classic jazz, pop standards, Italian arias and his timeless original music. He has performed over 400 concerts over the past decade headlining major performing arts centers, theaters, symphony concert halls, jazz clubs and private events across the country and around the world. Nunziata who is a classically trained singer is hailed by Broadwayworld as “an explosion of love and entertainment.”

He recently headlined a sold-out debut at the legendary Café Carlyle in New York City. He has been invited to be a headline soloist for over two dozen symphony orchestras around the world, including co-headlining Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Symphony Orchestra. His charisma and stage presence adds to his gifted voice. One should never miss the opportunity to attend a show or concert he is involved with. His Christmas Album “Together For Christmas,” is already a classic. His songs have recently been featured on MTV, Comedy Central, CBS News, NBC News and Good Day NY. His original pop song "The Gift Is You" - which he wrote honoring his mother's battle with breast cancer (she is now cancer-free) - is currently being used as an anthem for The Susan G. Komen Foundation.

A Ronald McDonald Family Room was built at Stony Brook Children’s in 2013. Realizing the need was great, they partnered with Stony Brook Children’s in 2022 to add a second Ronald McDonald Family Room, doubling the number of families to be could served. In 2023, the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at Stony Brook Children’s served 1,476 families and 3,842 individuals. The aim now is for a Suffolk County facility that will include 30 private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms for the families.

It’s a win-win do good event plus great entertainment. For information
