Natalie Chua and The Ficelles

Natalie Chua is a classical vocalist from Milton Keynes who has previously achieved international success with Angelis, who received a platinum disc for album sales of over 500,000 in 2007. Natalie has recently been performing all over the UK, America, Canada and the Far East and has developed a healthy following of fans with her distinct, powerful but moving voice.

A project will start this summer to put a group of young female musicians together with Natalie that will form The FICELLES. The aim is to create a group that combines an exceptional vocal talent with a fantastic sounding live group, to produce a professionally choreographed stage show which will perform at a variety of high profile local venues before touring UK theatres and similar venues. The group will complete live and studio recordings, radio and press interviews and be showcased to record labels and music industry personel later in the year with the view of securing a recording contract. The group will be fully managed from the audition stage.

Natalie Chua and The Ficelles will be a live performance and recording group of 8 female classical musicians with a female vocalist. The style of music will be classical/rock crossover, producing a spectacle stage show with full choreography, lighting and sound.

The concept will be to combine the two great genres of rock and classical.
