The Beat Box
A tribute to Beatles
with the Roma Philarmonic Orchestra
The Beatles Revolution – Abbey Road’s 50th Anniversary
Ancient Theatre of Taormina, Wednesday 31st July 2019 @ 9.30pm
Much more than just a tribute to the Beatles, the performance of Beatbox aims to revive the energy and charm of the legendary quar tet from Liverpool. To obtain the desired result, nothing has been left to chance: the instrumentation is identical to that used by the Beatles in their historical concerts, the Stage clothes, are made by the same tailor who made them for the U.S. tours of the Fab Four.
To give life to this project, four musicians from the curriculum rather than noble: Mauro Sposito, Filippo Caretti, Riccardo Bagnoli and Federico Franchi has played with the great names of Italian pop. A show that runs through the memories and the discovery of several generations, with performances faithfully to the original, to rediscover the enthusiasm and positivity of the Swinging ‘60s.
For the first time in Italy, the band will be on stage with the Roma Philarmonic Orchestra directed by Maestro Stefano Trasimen.
During the multimedia show, rare video documents will be projected in the screen. Pepole who lived that magic period will shre their memories: Freda Kelly (historic sevretary of the band), Pete Best (their first drummer), Renzo Arbore, Peppino Di Capri, Rolando Giambelli and many others.

Jul. 23 – Il Volo
Il Volo
Ancient Theatre, Tuesday 23rd July 2019 @9.30pm
l Volo is a group of three (unconventional) teenage boys that came to fame in Italy after appearing on the Italian talent show “Ti Lascio Una Canzone”.
They were promptly snapped up by the leading people in the music industry in Italy and their debut album quickly went platinum. Like Andrea Bocelli before them, they are Italians set for the international stage. Their appearance on American Idol in 2011 caused a frenzy of first week sales for the lads with further plans to launch themselves elsewhere in the world. Their appeal is definitely their quirky image coupled with their unexpectedly mature vocals. They cover old ground in the classical crossover sphere, but they certainly package it in a new and exciting way. With undeniably strong voices and impeccable charm, Il Volo are hard to resist.
(source: classical-crossover.co.uk)
The three singers are tenors Piero Barone (born 1993) and Ignazio Boschetto (born 1994), and baritone Gianluca Ginoble (born 1995).
