It is with great pleasure that I can announce the confirmation that eScala have been working on their debut album and it was finally released on Monday 25th May 2009. The album is titled "Escala". Our current feeling is that this is a UK release date and we are unsure about the worldwide release of their album. Rest assured that as we have more information, we will make it available to you.

You can read more on the album's release in this official announcement.

eScala, formerly Scala, are a musical group that have been together for two years after meeting on a tour bus travelling round the UK and Ireland. They were part of the string section of the orchestra and it was there that they became great friends and decided to form a band incorperating both their talent for playing classical music and their love of contempory styles. eScala, who are Victoria, Izzy, Chantal and Tasya, were classically trained at the Guildhall School of Music, Royal Academy and Royal College of Music and have spent years of intense work honing their skills.
