MEDUSA QUARTET in Concert- State College, PA
Opis wydarzenia
Get ready to stomp your feet, laugh, cry, and hear sounds you've never heard before with this electrifying and genre-defying chamber-folk band from Canada. Wielding a sound that could turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk innovators are reimagining the Western string quartet. Medusa Quartet cross-pollinates traditional music from around the world with original tunes, classical pieces, engaging stories, and their one-of-a-kind stringed instruments to create a "must-see live show!" (Sam Boer, Exclaim!). Medusa Quartet is truly unique, distinguished by its rare and compelling combination of instruments. Marta Sołek plays the Bilgoray Suka and the Płock Fidel from Poland, instruments that were made completely extinct and reconstructed in 1980 based on paintings from the 19th century. There are less than 50 people in the whole world that know how to play these instruments. Saskia Tomkins plays the Nyckelharpa from Sweden, a medieval-age fiddle that almost died out in the 20th century, but was resurrected by Erik Sahlström in the 1960’s. There is no other group in the country, and likely the world, that blends the sounds of these particular instruments together. The Acoustic Brew prides itself on providing great shows in listening rooms. Free coffees, teas and baked goods provided. Tickets and more info at: Acousticbrew.org
