Booking
The Paradice Orchestra makes its debut this year at the Paradice Music Festival. It arises from the collaboration of the established local rock band Los Locos Armando's with pianist Massimo Faes and the eclectic Phenix, an unconventional all-female string trio. The result is music that bridges the sacred and the profane, merging rock and classical genres. Every Thursday, it presents monographs on great pop-rock artists and themed nights, experimenting with both modern and classical arrangements to blend pop, classical, and contemporary music.
The Paradice Orchestra is composed of:
- Nick Turri (drums)
- Emanuele Ghirardini (guitar)
- Roberto Marzucchi (bass)
- Massimo Faes (keyboards)
- Ilaria Giorgi (cello)
- Maria Pizio (viola)
- Lucy Manfredi (violin)
