A beloved, pop-culture-inspired group of instrumentalists known as Vitamin String Quartet, has announced an upcoming U.S. tour performance taking place in Columbia County next year.
Hosted at the Columbia County Performing Arts Center (CCPAC), located at 1000 Market St., the concert will feature music from Taylor Swift, Bridgerton and more.
“With over 2 billion streams, almost 4 million downloads, and over 1 million physical units sold, the Billboard-charting ensemble is known for their classical reinterpretations of pop hits,” stated a press release from the CCPAC.
For 25 years, the Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) has been establishing classical crossover as a genuine force in contemporary music.
“Their songs have been prominently featured in the Netflix and Shondaland Original series Bridgerton, and the quartet will be performing at the show’s Season 3 premiere event,” stated the press release.
Fresh off high-profile placements in Seasons 1 and 2 of the aforementioned streaming smash, the quartet has reached a mainstream, global audience.
“Being a part of the Bridgerton story these last few years has been a truly awesome experience for VSQ and its fans, getting our story out to the larger world,” said Leo Flynn, one of VSQ’s creative directors at the CMH Label Group. “We are absolutely honored to take part in this premiere and help kick off the new season.”
On their latest tour, VSQ will perform spellbinding and innovative renditions of Taylor Swift’s music, alongside familiar hits from Billie Ellish, BTS, The Weekend, Daft Punk and more.
“We are thrilled to bring Vitamin String Quartet’s beloved arrangements of all things pop out to many audiences that have already made VSQ records a part of their lives,” said VSQ cellist Derek Stein. “We can’t wait to dive into all of our favorites – new and old – with our fans across the U.S.”
Across over 300 releases, VSQ have produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists, erasing boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop, rock and pop.
“From Lil Nas X to Björk, Studio Ghibli to gothic metal, VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care, breathing new life into music they already love,” stated the CCPAC press release. “The Quartet’s string stylings have also been featured in HBO’s ‘Westworld,’ ABC’s ‘Modern Family,’ the Judd Apatow-directed ‘The King of Staten Island,’ among many others.”
