Escala performing at Taste of Birmingham
We are proud to announce classical music sensation Escala will be performing at Taste of Birmingham. Visitors can enjoy the sounds of the electric string quartet while they tuck into their dishes.
Escala, a four piece girl band that fuse contemporary sounds with classical instruments, are performing on the 96.4fm BRMB stage on Saturday 11 July at 3pm. They caused a sensation in the final of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent and are hoping to wow visitors to Taste of Birmingham.
Escala are violinists Victoria Lyon, aged 25, and Izzy Johnston, 25. Chantal Leverton, a viola player aged 25 and cellist Tasya Hodges, 26 complete the line up. These talented musicians studied at London’s most prestigious music colleges, becoming highly trained, professional classical performers. With their unique formula of fun and integrity, the girls believe their approach will encourage many (in particular the young) to overcome prejudices about classical instruments.
The 96.4FM BRMB stage will also be playing host to acts from Tha Jam House and The International Jazz Festival.
