Hear the words “classical music” and what comes to mind? Somber images of suits and symphony halls, or perhaps your grandparents’ old long-playing phonograph records? If you think a classical performance is too formal or dull, then you owe it to yourself to check out Nova Era.

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 is something special. It reaches across generations and musical tastes. So, whether you love classical music, or prefer hip hop, jazz or rock ‘n’ roll, you will enjoy the music, beauty and talent of Nova Era.

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.

All of the musicians have been featured with major Symphony Orchestras both abroad and in the U.S.

A little warning: Once Nova Era grabs your heart, it won’t let go!

Nova Era was Founded in 1999 by Producer/Composer Andres Roca and Oboist Maria Luisa Coppelli.

Turn on 911 Locator on cell...

There are certain types of cell phones that the owner has to physically turn the 911 locator on and others that are automatically set when you purchase them. Many people assume that the 911 locator has already been turned on for you and that's not always the case.

Without the 911 locator turned on, 911 would never be able to "ping" your phone in an emergency sitaution to locate you or your phone.

This information could save a life, so please just take a few seconds to go into your cell options and make certain your 911 locator is turned on, have your kids, your siblings, your friends, whoever take a few seconds to check theirs, and please pass this along. You never know how many lives this simple message can save.

BE PROACTIVE & BE SAFE!!

Life Boils Down to Two Questions:

LIFE REALLY BOILS DOWN TO JUST TWO QUESTIONS:
1.) Should I get a dog...?
OR

2. Should I have children...??

No matter what situation life throws at you...
No matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem...
Remember, there's always light at the end of the tunnel.
