String Quartet Tuscany
String Quartet Tuscany, known for their theatrical performances and thrilling shows, maintain an intense concert schedule with classical repertoire, studied under Franco Rossi of the Quartetto Italiano.
They start off serious and classical, but nothing in the measured beginning prepares you for the hilarious chaos that follows! Comedy and laughter ensue as the quartet blends humor with their music and quirky costumes, creating a truly unique classical music performance!
This talented quartet also collaborates with many internationally acclaimed artists, including Skin (formerly of Skunk Anansie), Stefano Bollani, the duo Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti, the Italian singer Ron, and Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio led by Mario Tronco of Avion Travel.
String Quartet Tuscany was formed through a collaboration with Banda Osiris, performing together on the highly successful “Roll over Beethoven” tour. This tour takes place in Italy's most prestigious theaters and, with more than 130 shows, “Roll over Beethoven” has attracted over 30,000 attendees.
The quartet, who began playing together in 1999, are frequently guests on Radio 2 and Radio 3 RAI, performing for programs such as Controradio and Radio Popolare.
Their numerous classical performances at both international and national festivals have been praised by audiences and critics alike.
