Michael Bublé: When I hear music, I hear the voice of God
Canadian singer and songwriter Michael Bublé, ahead of the 6th edition of the Vatican's Concert with the Poor on December 6, shares his profound connection to music and faith. In a recent press conference, Bublé expressed his belief that music is a divine gift, stating, 'When I hear music, I hear the voice of God.'
The Concert with the Poor, established in 2015, is a special event that reserves 3,000 seats in the Paul VI Audience Hall for the homeless, migrants, and those facing social challenges. The concert, organized by Msgr. Marco Frisina, Serena Autieri, and the Nova Opera Orchestra, aims to bring music and hope to those in need during the Advent season.
Bublé described the concert's program as a tribute to the moment and a service to the community, emphasizing the celebration of Christmas and the birth of Christ. He also recalled his memorable meeting with Pope Leo XIV, a lifelong Catholic, who made specific song requests for the concert, including Ave Maria, a song Bublé has only performed once.
When asked about the influence of his faith on his music, Bublé emphasized that his beliefs shape every aspect of his life and decisions. He aspires to use his platform as an artist to promote kindness, hope, and love, seeing his faith as a guiding light in a world filled with darkness and challenges.
Bublé's faith is not just a personal belief but a driving force behind his music. He believes that music is more than just words and notes; it's a gift from God, allowing him to spread the good word and connect with those who may be suffering. This connection with the audience is a spiritual bond, as he sees the beauty in serving those in need.
The singer also reflected on the importance of the Concert with the Poor as a teaching moment for his children. He wants to show them that they can see God in the lives of those less fortunate, fostering empathy and a deeper understanding of faith. Despite the difference between this concert and his other performances, Bublé aims to connect with the audience, offering a little prayer of gratitude before each show.
As Bublé prepares for the concert, he remains grateful for the opportunity to share his faith and music with the world, leaving a lasting impact on those he touches.
