First there was the Three Tenors, then there was Il Divo, and now we have a new generation of the classical-pop group who takes center stage from around the world. Now, I'm talking about Il Volo.
Based in Italy, the group consists of Piero Barone, 17, Ignazio Boschetto, 16, and Gianluca Ginoble, 16, who appeared in a popular talent show "Ti Lascio Una Canzone" where they performed this amazingly powerful rendition of "O Sole Mio" which made them the first to win the competition. They decided to come up with the name of their trio Il Volo which means "flight" as in having the courage to spread their wings and soar. Subsequently, they went mainstream into America with their debut album which went certified gold and was on its way to going platinum in their home country.
With the success of their debut album IL VOLO, Quincy Jones asked the three young singers to record a compilation CD "We Are The World: 25 for Haiti" alongside Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, and many others by paying tribute to the victims of that devastating earthquake that struck in Haiti.
Being the only youngest singers in the group, many people of all ages, including children and youth, would come to discover classical music in their lifetime.
