BOND is the world’s first band specialising in classical crossover and synthpop music. Having sold 4 million records worldwide, BOND is the best-selling string quartet of all time.
The band has four members: Tania Davis (Violin), Eos Counsell (Violin), Elspeth Hanson (Viola) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (Cello), who were educated to the highest standard at some of the world’s most celebrated music institutions.
At its launch, BOND was hailed in the press as “the Spice Girls of Classical music” and went on to turn the world of classical crossover music on its head, spawning many electric string groups inspired by its unique sound.
Music played by BOND has been heard at many sport events, including the FA Cup, the Champions League, the Football World Cup, Olympics and the Cricket World Cup.-VNA
