Stiletto Sisters – Complicated Love

Stiletto Sisters

Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre & Stiletto Sisters

Details

Tales of love, betrayal, crimes of passion, doomed marriage proposals and other mysterious affairs of the heart.

Is 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?

Stiletto Sisters perform with extraordinary emotional range from extreme delicacy to blazing intensity and more than a touch of humour. Led with breathtaking passion by Hungarian trained violinist Hope Csutoros, the trio features the dynamic piano accordion playing of Judy Gunson and the wonderful talents of Jo To on double bass.

About the concert

Their performance in Primrose Potter Salon presents tales of love, betrayal, crimes of passion, love letters, doomed marriage proposals and other mysterious affairs of the heart. Featuring Ravel’s beautiful lament and prayer, Bartok’s folk songs, works from De Falla, Einaudi, some country and western with a Hungarian twist, Romanian love songs and finally, Kate Bush.
