STAGE SHOWS - UNSTRUNG HEROES

Buy Tickets!

From the creator of the sell out show, Tango's Violin, comes the comical show about a string quartet, Unstrung Heroes. This show was commissioned by His Majesty's Theatre, Perth to open the 2007 Cabaret Soiree Series at Downstairs at the Maj, where it was premiered in March 2007, followed by a Melbourne show at The Famous Spiegeltent in December 2007. Featuring Australia's funkiest string quartet, alto, Unstrung Heroes includes hits such as Smoke on the Water, Bohemian Rhapsody, Eleanor Rigby, movies themes and love songs.

Sophie Kesoglidis, as presenter, leaves audiences begging for more, as she amuses with quirky anecdotes and reveals trivia about the songs and bands on the programme. She also wrote, directed and produced the show which is a combination of light entertainment and great musicianship. Unstrung Heroes is all about great music, hilarity and surprises one never thought possible. It's about obliterating the word conservative and simply enjoying a variety of good music performed at professional level.

The cast consists of Alto - a string quartet (2 violins, viola, cello) performed live to air on ABC720 Perth in March 2007. Unstrung Heroes is led by Lena MacKenzie (violin), and, at times by Sophie Kesoglidis who alternates between violin, viola and piano as the repertoire dictates. All musicians have performed with professional state symphony orchestras and worked regularly in chamber music.

The repertoire ranges from opera to rock, classical to folk music. This includes Hava Nagilah, Czardas, O Sole Mio, Shostakovich Waltz, Moon River, and much more.
