Los Angeles, Calif. (November 3, 2023)--Multi-platinum classical crossover group, IL DIVO, drops their surprise EP today titled “A Merry Little Christmas,” just in time for the holidays.  The EP includes most-loved Christmas classics: “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”  Coinciding with the release, the group will embark on their U.S. “A New Day Holiday Tour,” launching November 29 at Ferguson Center for the Performing Arts in Newport News, Virginia.  The EP, released via Thirty Tigers, was produced by Grammy® and Latin Grammy® Award-winning artist Carlos Fernando Lopez (Ricky Martin, Laura Pausini, Marc Anthony).  Check out “A Merry Little Christmas” HERE.

Says IL DIVO, “We wanted to surprise our fans with a special Christmas EP of holiday favorites that we will perform live, in concert, during our upcoming ‘A New Day Holiday Tour.’ We’re excited to bring cheer and goodwill to audiences in America with our new renditions of classic Christmas songs that are so well beloved.”

The “A New Day Holiday Tour,” which continues through December 23 in Naples, Florida, will feature the group performing songs from the EP, in addition to other holiday classics and songs from their vast catalog.  Tickets for the tour are available at: https://ildivo.com/tour-dates/.

Singing in English, Spanish, French and Italian, IL DIVO, with members Urs Bühler (tenor) of Switzerland, Sébastian Izambard (tenor) of France and David Miller (tenor), also recently announced a new addition to their group, Mexican American baritone Steven LaBrie. After the untimely passing of original member Carlos Marin in 2021 from COVID-19, Labrie had been a featured guest on their “Greatest Hits Tour” from 2022 to present, and now has become the group’s fourth member (see People.com story here).

IL DIVO is the most commercially successful classical crossover group in international music history since they first banded together in 2004. With more than 30 million albums sold, 160 Gold and Platinum albums in 33 countries, to their credit, Il Divo was the first Classical Crossover artist to have an album debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. Beyond enrapturing millions of fans in packed arenas and stadiums, their audience has consisted of historical figures and thought leaders and their presence has underscored momentous events, including the Summer Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Diamond Jubilee at Windsor and the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball, to name a few. With songs recorded in Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Latin, English and Japanese, their catalog has impressively yielded global sales of 30 million-plus units with 50 No. 1 hits and 160 Gold and Platinum records throughout 35 countries.
