Luigi Cirillo has been dedicated to music studies 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.
Soprano Isabel Panè and guitarist Luca Villani studied at the Conservatories of Rome and Matera respectively. Luca’s research on rare classical guitar pieces and Isabel’s penchant for jazz and blues have been fused to form a versatile Duo able to perform diverse recitals, which have as their focus the blending of sounds and a strong stage presence.
