ABOUT THE ARTISTSIs there enough passion in your life? How long has it been since you spent an evening with three glamorous gypsy girls whose only desire is to whip you into a frenzy with their instrumental virtuosity and then cause you to swoon with the beauty of their vocal harmonies? The Stiletto Sisters have been wooing audiences for many years with their seductive blend of Hungarian gypsy, tango and love songs from around the world. Led with breathtaking virtuosity by Hungarian trained violinist Hope Csutoros, and featuring the dynamic piano accordion playing of Judy Gunson and the wonderful Jo To on double bass, the Sisters performs with extraordinary emotional range from extreme delicacy to blazing intensity and more than a touch of humour. Performances do come with a health warning: the velvety seduction of their three-part harmonies on Latin, Yiddish and Hungarian love songs has caused many to faint with delight!
