Explore the sonic possibilities of non-traditional string quartets played in some of the most remarkable natural acoustics you’ve ever experienced. Hear famed fiddler and composer Mark O’Connor’s imagining of a different kind of string quartet, this one with a double bass replacing the second violin. Cello quartet arrangements of classics like Bach’s Air are juxtaposed with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Paul Wiancko’s Cello Quartet which quotes Ben E. King’s Stand by Me. The towering canyon walls amplify the unusual sonorities of these striking string combinations for an unforgettable experience.
