String Quartet Tuscany
String Quartet Tuscany, with their theatrical performances and exhilarating shows, engage in intense concert activities with classical repertoire, mentored by Franco Rossi of the Quartetto Italiano.
Their performances may start serious and classical, but nothing from the moderate beginning prepares you for the hilarious chaos that ensues! Comedy and laughter abound as the quartet infuses humor into their music with amusing costumes, delivering a truly unique classical music experience!
The talented quartet also collaborates with many internationally acclaimed artists such as Skin (formerly of Skunk Anansie), Stefano Bollani, the duo Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti, Italian singer Ron, and Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio led by Mario Tronco of Avion Travel.
String Quartet Tuscany originated from a collaboration with Banda Osiris, performing together on their successful “Roll over Beethoven” tour. This tour spans the most important Italian theaters and with more than 130 shows; “Roll over Beethoven” has entertained over 30,000 spectators.
The quartet, who began playing together in 1999, are frequent guests on Radio 2 and Radio 3 RAI, performing for radio programs Controradio and Radio Popolare.
Their numerous classical performances at international and national festivals have been praised by both the general public and critics alike.
