| Nova Era takes classical music out of its isolated arena, giving it a warm and exciting edge that everyone can enjoy. | ||
| Hear the words “classical music” and what comes to mind? Somber images of suits and symphony halls, or perhaps your grandparents’ old LPs? If you think a classical performance is too formal or dull, then you owe it to yourself to check out Nova Era. | ||
| Based in Orlando, Nova Era is breathing new life into classical music with a modern approach. Much more than an attempt at Mozart: Plugged-In, Nova Era’s updated arrangements bring out the timeless appeal of classics such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Pachelbel’s Canon | ||
| But there is even more to this music phenomenon: Nova Era performs in handcrafted 18th century costumes, and ornate, powdered wigs. This beautiful touch lends an authenticity which lifts the music to a higher level. | ||
| At first glance, you might think you are attending an 18th century concert -- that is, until you see the electric instruments, taking a giant leap into the 21st century. This visual combination of old and new perfectly reflects the music of Nova Era. | ||
| Nova Era began, appropriately, as the new millennium was dawning. The band’s first CD, Millennio, was released while Nova Era was on an extended engagement at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT theme park. Popular demand for Nova Era has the band performing around the U.S. and Europe. In partnership with the QVC network, Nova Era appears frequently on television as well. | ||
| Nova Era now has five CDs, including a holiday disc, A Nova Era Christmas. Each CD has its own personality and all are brilliant. Nova Era has also released a DVD, A Night in Venice, filmed in a Venetian Palazzo. The scenes are breathtaking as Nova Era makes beautiful music by candlelight. The video includes a charming behind-the-scenes tour of Venice, and interviews with band members. | ||
| Nova Era is something special. It reaches across generations and musical tastes. So, whether you love classical music, or prefer hip hop, jazz or rock ‘n’ roll, you will enjoy the music, beauty and talent of Nova Era. |
