My name is George Ilie, I am a swedish violonist, I have a trio which is called Major&Minor" and I´m looking for contract at star Hotels in Japan.
Here is a few words about ”Major & Minor”. They are highly educated musicians with many years of scene experience and a huge repertoir.Their repertoir is based on well known international music and the styles which Major& Minor are combining are: modern jazz, dance, soft jazz, classical, café-concert, ever-green, film- music. All this is refreshed by a modern and easy listening arrangement, made to produce maximizing audio effect for the audience. The interprets are balancing slow melodious ballads and intensive virtuosso pieces with tremendeous flexibility between the different styles and the classicaly trained basics of the members creates a strong feeling of profesionalism and rafinment. Many of the local specialists and journalists have compared their violins sound and interptretative manner with Stephane Grapelli’s and Jean Luc Ponty’s.
Major & Minor are playing live and behind them there is a big virtual orcherstra (on CD) which George has arranged and recorded himself track by track with help of the latest music technology. This guarantees a wide variety of instruments and a superb sound anywhere, everywhere. It’s true, they are sounds very good in the studio, but you must listen to them live, on the stage…then their music is coming out absolutely fantastic, free, with capability to ful capture the attention of all kind of the audience. M & M are an complete entertainment-package which will always get your guests onto the dance floor!
George Ilie – Highly educated violonist and arranger. He studied at Richard Bartzer master-class of composition/arranging and he’s an excellent violin player who complements his performance with some of the finest new music technology available, adding the availability of full band and orchestral sounds. George has played with all established orchestras (including symphonic also) and he toured in: Luxemburg, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc.Also here, he built together with his wife, “Major & Minor” orchestra which they are performing now with. He went for this band, because he is thinking it’s best to play with his family.
Victoria Ilie – Highly educated violonist at Ciprian Porumbescu Music Academy in Bucharest, began her career as the winner of the second price in the “Violin Contest of Interpretation” Bucharest-Romania. She is an sophisticated and brilliant violonist and she played as concert-master and soloist almost over the world. Since 1989 when Victoria moved to Sweden, she has hade engagements with all professional symphonic and popular orchestras and at the same time she participated in many other musical projects, records, concerts. She also toured in: Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain, etc.
Now she went of course for Major & Minor whole hearted.
Mihai “Jazzy” Ilie is the youngest member of this band.He is also a composer/arranger and he burns for what he does. In our trio he is the “rhythmic guy”, the one that handles all the percussion and rhythmic instruments.
