Carmen - sold out in Boston

An Intellectual Rocker Steeped in Tradition


"...She introduced songs in fluent English, although the rapt audience was full of Italian-speaking fans..."

"..Ms. Consoli is a remarkable combination of rocker and intellectual..."

"...an AIDS patient in “Per Niente Stanca” (“Not Tired at All”), an older woman obsessed with plastic surgery in “Contessa Miseria” (“Countess Misery”) ...."

"....Ms. Consoli has sung defiant pop-rock along the lines of Shakira or Alanis Morissette..."

"...Ms. Consoli often sings about women who are unfulfilled or in undeserved predicaments, like “Maria Catena” (“Mary Chain”)..."


Carmen Consoli performs on Saturday at the National Geographic Society’s Grosvenor Auditorium in Washington. Her Sunday concert in Boston is sold out.
