Linzi Stoppard & Ben Lee Headlined at Zappeion, Athens For Momentum 2009
FUSE are electric violinists Linzi Stoppard & Ben Lee Headlined at Momentum 2009 in Athens. With their original sound and approach FUSE are the most innovative string act around today. Pioneering a new method for a traditionally classical instrument while inspiring a new breed of electric violinists. FUSE are setting the bar.
FUSE are virtuoso musicians Linzi Stoppard and Ben Lee who, on their eponymous debut album harness their bespoke signature Bridge electric violins and take Rock tracks that people love and radically but lovingly reinterpret them. The album is scheduled for early March 2010.
The Momentum Cultural Evening is all about meeting old and new business acquaintances, allowing you to network together away from a conference room in fabulous surroundings.
This year the Cultural Evening will take place in the Zappeion Exhibition Hall, situated in the city centre and surrounded by some of the most important buildings in Athens, including the Acropolis, the Parliament building, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; and the Maximou Palace. Nearby are the National Gardens and, opposite, on the side of the Ardittos Hill, the Panathinaic Stadium; Hadrian's Arch and the ancient Temple of the Olympian Zeus.
During the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the fencing events were hosted in its circular atrium. During the second International Olympic Games in 1906, Zappeion was used as the "Olympic Village" and in 2004 as the official Olympic Games Press Hall.
With some exceptional entertainment, food and drink in the form of local culinary specialities in a fantastic building and setting, this year’s Cultural Evening promises to be a very memorable occasion.
FUSE brought the evening to an amazing close with a grand finale - in fact the finale track from their debut album which included a 50 string choir coming out of the darkness above them as they performed a classic 1970's rock anthem. It was show stopping.
FUSE's album is due in March 2010.
