Biography
An exciting male quartet chosen for each concert from a body of professional, classically trained singers and pianists, Scozzesi (italian for Scottish men) sing harmonies arranged specifically for tenor I, tenor II, baritone I and baritone II. The singers are all young Scottish men who are already making their mark in their solo careers. The gentlemen perform a mixed repertoire of solos, duets, trios and quartets from the worlds of opera, operetta, Gilbert and Sullivan, songs from the shows, and include some of our best loved traditional tunes in four part harmony. Repertoire will be chosen specifically to suit each concert. An evening to be charmed and enchanted in the company of Scotland's latest vocal ensemble!
