Mezzotono

Small Italian Orchestra without Instruments

Daniela Desideri – soprano
Gaia Gentile – mezzo-soprano
Fabio Lepore – tenor
Marco Giuliani – baritone
Andrea Maurelli – bass

The small Italian orchestra, Mezzotono performs ‘acappella’, without the use of any musical instruments. The voices reproduce the different instruments (drums, percussions, electric bass, guitar and mandolin). Their repertoire goes from jazz to bossa nova, from mambo to tango, pop or big band style to classic music; all the songs have a very different impact from the original version because of the arrangements and the unpredictable contribution of the rhythmic-vocal section. The often comic approach of the five performers encourages audience participation in a pleasant and relaxed way. Although only together for a few years, Mezzotono has already been in several prominent Italian TV appearances, their tours have included theatres all over the world and they have performed hundreds of concerts.
