Listen to Phantom of the Opera

Led by concert thereminist Mano Divina Giannone, the Divine Hand Ensemble defies categorization. Mano Divina manipulates electricity with his hands to release angelic voices from his fingertips while being backed by an exquisite string quartet, two harps, vibraphone, and accordion. The group is committed to shattering the stereotype that classical music is stuffy and unattainable by performing inventive arrangements of rock, blues, jazz, and even reggae songs mixed in with opera arias and classical standards. They do everything from Beethoven to Bowie. “There aren't many bands that could go from playing 16th century funerary music in a cemetery to opening for Pope Francis's world address on the Parkway to backing the Lady in the Radiator from David Lynch's Eraserhead all within the span of one week but the Divine Hand are no ordinary band."
