Based in Orlando, Nova Era is breathing new life into classical music with a modern approach. Much more than an attempt at Mozart: Plugged-In, Nova Era’s updated arrangements bring out the timeless appeal of classics such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Pachelbel’s Canon. Nova Era’s distinct sound is evident in the original works by producer/composer Andres Roca. Roca has created a special chemistry with his focus on the oboe, cello, and violin. Nova Era’s rhythm section, featuring drums, electric bass, and keyboard, completes this effect. These dynamic musicians could be equally at home in a rock band or a symphony orchestra, and their passion for Roca’s work is clear. But there is even more to this music phenomenon: Nova Era performs in handcrafted 18th century costumes, and ornate, powdered wigs. This beautiful touch lends an authenticity which lifts the music to a higher level. At first glance, you might think you are attending an 18th century concert -- that is, until you see the electric instruments, taking a giant leap into the 21st century. This visual combination of old and new perfectly reflects the music of Nova Era. Nova Era takes classical music out of its isolated arena, giving it a warm and exciting edge that everyone can enjoy. Popular demand for Nova Era has the band performing around the U.S. and Europe. Previous engagements include performances in Venice, Paris, The Palace at Versailles, Dubai UAE, Hawaii, Grand Cayman, Las Vegas and NYC just to name a few.. In partnership with the QVC network, Nova Era has performed frequently on television as well.
