A celebration of Italian music from the past Century with Luigi Cirillo and Lara Russo.
The programme will include a list of beautiful songs which will take the audience back to the past century.
Luigi Cirillo
Luigi has studied music since an early age. An eclectic route, through saxophone and guitar, has led him to singing, where he has found his natural expressive dimension. He improved his vocalism under the guidance of M. Mario Castiglia as a soloist and chorister.
He worked as a soloist with the Orchestra Fantasia Napoletana, touring throughout Italy. He performed in Poland and Spain as a chorister with the Renaissance ensemble Principe San Severino, participating in international art music festivals (colto/extracolto). Among many, he played with Linley Hamilton, Espedito De Marino, Antonio Florio. His continuous training allows him to exhibit an extreme vocal ductility, from throat singing to Renaissance and Jazz.
Lara Russo
Lara is an Italian performer based in Edinburgh since 2012. She started her vocal training in Italy in 1997, under the direction of Giovanni D’Auria, then continued her training with various teachers. She has been a member of the Vocal Ensemble ‘Principe Sanseverino’ for 10 years, performing a wide range of renaissance and baroque music and toured Italy, Poland and Spain. She joined the ‘Edinburgh Telephone Choir ‘ in 2012, with which she performs classics and contemporary music. Lara is also a versatile soloist, experienced in a variety of styles, including pop, jazz and traditional southern Italian music.
