Legendary Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, his 25-year-old son Matteo, and his 10-year-old daughter Virginia have teamed up with one of the most innovative vocal groups of all time, Pentatonix, to record an inspiring new version of the festive classic “Do You Hear What I Hear” – released today on Decca / Capitol Records. The new collaboration arrives on the heels of the chart-topping success of the Bocellis’ first album together, “A Family Christmas,” which has achieved No. 1 status around the globe.

A press release said:

The striking rendition of “Do You Hear What I Hear” offers a modern sensibility on the 1962 Christmas classic, while retaining its sense of holiday magic. As the most celebrated classical singer in modern history, Andrea Bocelli, along with Matteo Bocelli, who has embarked on a promising solo career, and Virginia Bocelli, who made her debut performing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” in 2020 alongside her father, garnering over 15 million views, together as a trio bring an unparalleled amount of talent and heart to the family favorite. Complementing their voices perfectly, Pentatonix add their distinctive and impeccable harmonies, jointly crafting a brilliantly colorful and deeply layered song.

Pentatonix’s Scott Hoying said, “Since I was a kid, I’ve always known Andrea Bocelli to be the best voice of our time, and he still has that title to this day! Not surprisingly, his children are unbelievably talented as well, and to be able to sing with such an iconic family is a lifelong dream come true for all of us.”

Andrea Bocelli is currently touring the U.S. along with Matteo and Virginia in support of “A Family Christmas,” sharing the magic of their family’s music with thousands of fans across the nation.

Each family member gets a chance to shine on their first album together, “A Family Christmas” (Decca / Capitol Records), which is currently the top-selling holiday album in the U.S. In addition, it is the highest-charting new holiday album on the Billboard 200 and Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums tally. Produced by composer and multi-Grammy and Academy award nominee Stephan Moccio (Celine Dion, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, Barbra Streisand), the record captures the Bocelli festive spirit in full flow.
