Does anyone know this musical group?

[Rajah]

In Jan 1999, my parents and I went to Epcot, and there was a foursome playing in Italy. They did traditional classical songs, but to a faster beat and a little more "rock-y".

I'm trying to see if they have any albums out, but I can't for the life of me remember their name. I *think* it started with an R, but don't remember for certain.

Anyone know who I'm talking about?

Oh, they DO have a few CDs. They might even still sell them at Epcot. I have LOTS of video of them, and a few pics with one of the members who was QUITE the hottie. I used to go watch them a lot when I was a CM in '96, but I think they were there for several years. I miss them.

I clicked on the Nova Era link from that link above, and the hottie cellist was on the main page! So, I guess that's the current name of his band. I seem to remember going back in 2000 and seeing some members of Rondo Venezziano there playing by the name of Bella/Belle something or other (the name was on that link above, but I already forgot it). The Nova Era link looks promising... has lots of music samples. But you might want to do a search for the other names as well.

That's them, thanks Jen!! My mom has one of their CDs, but we can't find it.
