The latest
'bond' girls have nothing to do with 007. Not only have
they stirred up the pop scene but they've thrown an overly
serious world of classical music into a tizzy. Using their
violins, violas and cellos - Gay-Yee, Haylie, Eos and Tania
have merged the two genres of music with their debut release,
Born.
Throw
in fantastic beats and their stiletto heels and…presto
- classical music's dream machine! Or---and I know they
hate this---classical Spice Girls!
They've
opened for stars such as Ricky Martin and Andrea Bocelli,
and played in the opening production at the 2001 MTV Music
Awards. They note that they are wildly popular in Europe
and Asia but admit younger North American audiences don't
seem to get what they're doing (classical music, that is.)
