MiP: Scozzesi

Roger Paterson & Christian Schneeberger (tenors), Jonathan Kennedy & Douglas Nairne (baritones) and Ed Cohen (piano)

Scozzesi (Italian for “Scottish men”) have been called “the latest word in posh boy bands”.

All classically trained, with their own individual careers in the worlds of opera, recitals and teaching, they come together with pianist Ed Cohen, to sing harmonies arranged specifically for a male vocal quartet.

Their repertoire includes solos, duets, trios and quartets from the worlds of opera (Gounod, Bizet, Mozart, Puccini and Donizetti), operetta (Lehár and Offenbach), Gilbert & Sullivan, songs from the shows (Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables & South Pacific) and traditional Scottish songs.

“There’s some serious talent there – young conservatoire graduates with numerous opera roles under their belts.” (The Scotsman)
