STRINGFEVER IS
TRULY A FAMILY AFFAIR, AS BROTHERS GILES, RALPH, AND NEAL
BROADBENT AND THEIR COUSIN GRAHAM, DAZZLE THEIR AUDIENCES
WITH THEIR AMAZING MUSICAL TALENTS.
These four world class musicians come from
a long line of amazing musical talent, dating back to their
grandfather, A renowned organist, choirmaster, and singer,
with 3 of the 4 of his sons finding careers in music as
well. Those sons, of course, being the boys’ fathers.
Giles and Ralph attended the Royal Academy of Music in England,
Graham attended the Royal College of Music in England, and
before Neal could choose which musical school he was headed
for, his three family members persuaded him to join them
and put together this one of a kind group.
These talented musicians have put together
a truly original show featuring five and six stringed electric
violins, called violectras, a viola, and a cello. Some of
the unique features of the show include Stringfever’s
acclaimed version of “Bolero,” with all four
members of the group playing one cello at the same time.
At one point, the audience is challenged to a rousing game
of name that tune, trying to guess 20 of the most popular
film theme songs, including a rousing rendition of a “007,
James Bond medley.” The fantastic culmination of the
show is the group’s signature finale, “The History
of Music . . . in 5 minutes.” The unique instruments
and charismatic personalities of the members of the group
make Stringfever a truly unique and unforgettable, not to
miss, musical experience. Since catching the attention of
Europeans from one side of the continent to the other, Stringfever
has decided to make the journey across the ocean and share
their incredible show with their American friends. Catch
the fever and find the cure with Stringfever, a truly unique
musical experience!
