Their Name is Bond...the Mizzes Bond
2002/04/01
t's music fans' ultimate dream ... fine tunes
ranging from Latino to the classics, played by a quartet
of young ladies who would not look out of place on a
fashion catwalk. This is Bond, four classically trained
musicians whose live appearances worldwide and a launch CD
have grabbed the paying public beyond the wildest dreams
of the promoters who brought them together and set them on
the road to probable fortunes.
On April 5, Beijing will be the British group's concert
venue, an event that has quickly seen a rush for tickets. Bond
is made up of lead violinist Haylie Ecker; second violin Eos;
cellist Gay-Yee; and a third violinist, Tania Davi.
Bond's introductory CD went straight into the British Top
10, immediately resulting in the group being invited to make TV
appearances. Music trade magazines predicted that many fans of
the famed Spice Girls and others of their genre would switch
their allegiance to Bond, which seems to be the case.
Bond's music is as versatile as can be. Classically trained
the young women may be, but they can switch to pop and dance
music without losing a beat. One critic has described their
work as "classic goes pop". Which is what Beijing music lovers
can't wait to sample.
The group's performance is sponsored by Beijing All Culture
Communication Company Ltd; the China Record Company; and
Beijing Music Radio, 97.4.
