Eva Simontacchi is the group's artistic manager, she is responsible for its look and, since she is also its founder, she's the leader.

In addition to these classical and gospel pieces, their repertoire includes some evergreens like "You've Got A Friend". "4 Heaven & More" also perform a few classical pieces like a wonderful vocal harmonization by Giancarlo Urso for Soprano, Contralto and Tenor of Gounod's "Ave Maria".
