Soaring talent: Il Volo taking the music world by storm

The Italian trio Il Volo has been jokingly referred to by other names since exploding on the music scene three years ago after winning an Italian talent show.
The Teenage Tenors (although they aren’t all tenors), the Italian Jonas Brothers and The New Bocellis are some of the names they’ve been tagged with. But Gianluca Ginoble, the handsome baritone of the group with the full Elvis Presley hair and bedroom eyes, doesn’t care for any of them.
“We are Il Volo, we are not those other names,” said Ginoble, 17, in a telephone interview from Chicago where the group also including tenors Piero Barone, 19, and Ignazio Boschetto, 18, had just finished a show before heading to Detroit and then Toronto and then Ottawa on a North American tour.
Il Volo brings, what the group calls, “operatic pop” to the National Arts Centre on Tuesday for the first time. And they return on Oct. 20, playing on a bill with headliner Barbra Streisand and trumpet player Chris Botti at Scotiabank Place.
The group’s name is Il Volo — Italian word meaning flight — and it is a perfect metaphor to the meteoric rise of these young Italians.

Il Volo Entertains Sault Crowd

The Italian singing sensation Il Volo entertained a crowd of about 2,500 at the Essar Centre Friday night.
The three teenage singers who make up the band Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble and Ignazio Boschetto have made appearances on television's American Idol last year and have been on tour every since.
The concert, the flagship event of the Marconi Society celebrating their 100 years in Sault Ste. Marie didn't fail to please the adoring fans of the trio who have enjoyed international success and is considered one of the biggest acts out of Italy in decades.
The boys were charismatic with the crowd and had good stage presence. The audience was very responsive and seemed to enjoy the show thoroughly
Il Volo appeals to a wide demographic ranging from teen girls to seniors.
Amazing voices, classy, friendly, overall great concert.

*************************
Hello, my name is Anna Mollame, I am 18-years old and on Tuesday August 6 I had the pleasure of meeting Il Volo for the second time.
I first met Il Volo when I went to their concert in Detroit on October 16, 2011.
They were the sweetest boys I've ever met so when I discovered they were in the Sault I made it my mission to meet them again.
My friend mentioned that she saw their tour bus on the bridge and from that point on I went on a hunt to find where this bus was.
My inner detective came out and I thought to myself, where can they possibly hide a bus and then I figured it out!
I found the bus at Comfort Suites, just around the corner from my house (bonus!) .
The next morning my friend and myself went to the hotel and waited in the lobby for the boys to finish their breakfast.
