http://www.scmp.com/video

The four musicians from all-girl group Escala are the latest classical cross-over group with a touch of electronica. Having rose to fame on the British TV show Britain's Got Talent in 2008, the group have released their debut album and were in Hong Kong to promote it.

Escala consists of Izzy Johnston and Victoria Lyon, who both play violin. While Chantal Leverton plays viola and Natasya Hodges is on the cello. All four hail from London.

In this video, Young Post reporter James Whittle speaks to the group after their first public performance in Hong Kong

I'd be extremely happy if they ever did Capriccio Italien by Tchaikovsky. I love that piece! It's beautiful and fun to play as well.
