Verified profile

Luigi Cirillo has been dedicated to music studies since an early age. An eclectic route, through saxophone and guitar, has led him to singing, where he has found his natural expressive dimension. He improved his vocalism under the guidance of M. Mario Castiglia as a soloist and chorister. He worked as a soloist with the Orchestra Fantasia Napoletana, touring throughout Italy. He performed in Poland and Spain as a chorister with the Renaissance ensemble Principe San Severino, participating in international art music festivals (colto/extracolto). Among many, he played with Linley Hamilton, Espedito De Marino, Antonio Florio. His continuous training allows him to exhibit an extreme vocal ductility, from throat singing to Renaissance and Jazz.

Luigi's Reviews

5 out of 5

Luigi was a great fit for our pre ceremony drinks as well as a few acoustic interludes throughout the actual ceremony. It was a busy noisy crowded venue but he didn’t mind just being background. We chatted in advance and he was helpful with suggestions for the musical interludes. Friendly, professional and relaxed. Could ask for no more!!
