Performers
Francesco Filizzola has performed on prestigious stages around the world, from the UK and Europe to the USA and Asia. His music has delighted not only legendary bands such as The Rolling Stones, but also King Charles III (then Prince Charles), Prince Harry, Queen Sofia of Spain, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Johnny Depp, Gordon Ramsay and many other famous personalities.
Monica Harem released her first album in 2001 on Columbia (Sony). She worked as a vocal coach and artistic director for various projects for the Italian television channel Rai. Later, in collaboration with D&D Diamonds, she created her own traveling show, Extravagant, inspired by the world-famous Canadian circus company Cirque du Soleil and television entertainment shows. Monica has been an official Papeete Compilation artist for twelve years and has performed all over the world during her 25-year career.
The extravagant Italian baritone-tenor JJ Vianello stands out with his charismatic voice and unique style. He has recorded several albums and singles. His voice is a true example of vintage style, and his unique elegant style shines especially brightly. Listeners call JJ Vianello a true stage leader who can captivate both on the dance floor and - figuratively speaking - "give a ticket" to a trip to the 80s.
Manuela Evelyn Prioli has been singing since early childhood. She first studied piano with Maestro Carlo Pari, then guitar with Marco di Meo, and then began to study vocals at the conservatory. She deepened her knowledge in various seminars with famous Italian and international vocalists and musicians. Manuela obtained a master's degree in vocal technique teaching and completed a course in choral conducting at the Cesena Conservatory with Anna Galterio. She is considered one of the most promising and talented young voices in the world of music.
The concert will be musically directed by the VERI Italiani Orchestra, which is described as “an incredibly fun ensemble and orchestra with a huge Italian heart.” One of the standout musicians is saxophonist and flutist Davide di Gregorio, who appeared at the Sanremo Festival and was a long-time mainstay of the band of world-famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. He has also played with superstars such as Arianna, Antonella Ruggiero and others. Meanwhile, the orchestra’s rhythm section is led by Luca Angelici, the hugely popular “Bass Your Life” creator and a graduate of the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome.
