All the world's a stage

The crossover act, Escala, comprising four sexy women, Victoria Lyon (violin), Izzy Johnston (violin), Tasya Hodges (cello) and Chantal Leverton (viola), with their electric string quartet， amazed audiences last year in Britain's Got Talent.

They made a guest appearance at Taiwan singer Wang Lee-hom's Music Man show on Aug 22 at Beijing Workers' Stadium and also had their own showcase the day after that.

They were called "completely original" by Simon Cowell and got a $2.4 million contract with the music mogul. Fusing contemporary music with classical instruments, the group offers an innovative sound and vibrant energy.

The group's debut album, Escala, came out in June. They appeared at the James Bond Quantum of Solace world premiere in London last year and also performed on the Oprah Winfrey show.
