PRINCESSES OF VIOLIN
The band, Princesses of Violin was formed in August 2001. Consisting of three remarkably attractive and talented young ladies, the violin trio performs in crossover style that blends classical music with contemporary modern elements. All three young ladies have had long and serious classical music educational background (School of Music). In Hungary today it would definitely be difficult to find people being unfamiliar with these three violinists.
Since its formation, Princesses of Violin have appeared in several TV shows and have hardly had any moment to breathe recently. But it was not in Hungary only where the trio became famous almost overnight. Princess of Violin have already made their appearance abroad at a European festival in 2002, where they garnered enthusiastic applause and almost brought down the house. As the result of this fantastic welcome, their first four albums were released in several countries. One thing is for certain - the ladies have become international stars in a short time.
As the result of their first success they performed in the Netherlands. Besides, they also performed with great success in Italy where they entertained the audience with a concert on the birthday of the Princess of Naples. They have travelled to the United Arab Emirates several times and have already performed twice in Bahrein; in addition to that in 2009 they captivated their audiences in the Middle East and Far East.
In the framework of a festival event they traveled to the Americas and performed in seven cities in Mexico. Since 2004 they have had bi-annual performances in Germany and have already been invited to China.
In September 2010, they are traveling to the United States to deliver six performances at Alltech Fortnight Festival.
Recently the band, in pop category, has been awarded with the prestigious Persian Golden Lionness Awards founded by Mr. Mustafa Dorbayani; the award was presented them at a stylish event in Budapest. Among their domestic awards and recognitions, we can mention the Arany Zsiráf Award which they happily received in 2002.
Apart from being a compilation of real hits, the albums by the Princesses have managed to achieve golden and platinum status several times; altogether they have already sold more than 150,000 albums. The perfect combination of adaptations of pieces of classical music (familiar to everyone) together with the new compositions fascinates and enchants the listeners of their albums as well as their audiences. The albums gained the favor of those not regularly listening to classical music. In such an easy going style event the tunes and melodies by Mozart and Beethoven will become enjoyable, not mentioning the fact that the almost one-hour-long musical material will considerably relieve listeners and enable them to have a break from the everyday hustle and bustle and 'recharge their batteries.'
