Since their debut in 2004, IL DIVO has captivated audiences with their fusion of operatic mastery and pop appeal. Created by Simon Cowell, the group has won the hearts of millions worldwide, selling over 30 million albums and earning more than 160 gold and platinum records across 35 countries. Their repertoire takes listeners on a musical journey across cultures, featuring songs in Spanish, Italian, French, English, Portuguese and even Japanese. With their unique blend of classical elegance and contemporary style, IL DIVO continues to enchant music lovers around the globe.
IL DIVO is not only about exceptional vocal talent but also about delivering breathtaking performances that linger in memory for years. They have graced some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Royal Albert Hall and Madison Square Garden, and have performed at global events such as the Summer Olympics and FIFA World Cup. The group has had the honor of singing for some of the most influential figures, including Queen Elizabeth II and U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Their concerts are passionate, emotional spectacles that seamlessly blend classical music with modern influences, creating an unforgettable experience.
The history of IL DIVO is also marked by moments of deep emotion. In 2021, the music world suffered an irreplaceable loss with the passing of Carlos Marín, one of the group’s founding members, due to complications from COVID-19. His unparalleled voice, stage charisma and passion will forever remain part of IL DIVO’s legacy. Despite this heartbreaking loss, the group decided to carry on, honoring his memory. In 2022, talented baritone Steven LaBrie joined IL DIVO, bringing fresh energy while preserving the group’s unique style. The current IL DIVO lineup consists of Urs Bühler (tenor, Switzerland), Sébastien Izambard (tenor, France), David Miller (tenor, U.S.) and Steven LaBrie (baritone, U.S.).
Simply Three is a dynamic instrumental trio from Phoenix, AZ, known for their genre-defying fusion of classical, rock and pop music. Formed in 2010, the group—Nicholas Villalobos (cello), Zack Clark (bass) and Julian Nguyen (violin)—first gained attention through street performances and viral videos of their unique takes on popular hits like “Wake Me Up” by Avicii and “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic. Their ability to seamlessly blend elegance and technical precision with raw energy and modern flair quickly launched them onto prominent stages around the world. With high-energy live shows featuring songs like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Take Me To Church,” Simply Three delivers captivating performances that resonate across audiences of all ages and musical tastes.
