String Quartet blends classical and contemporary at the SCA

Well-Strung, a New York based string quartet with a twist, will perform at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts on July 14 at 8 p.m. The group is renowned for its fusion of classical music and modern contemporary hits. Tickets are on sale now for $35 in advance or $38 day of the performance. Visit sc4a.org or call 269-857-2399 to purchase.

 

The music of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Adele, and Lady Gaga​ normally finds its home on the radio dial. But four young men from New York have given it a different home: on the strings of their violins, viola and cello.

 

The Huffington Post described the group as, “A genius mash-up of boyband and classical string quartet.”

 

Well-Strung is comprised of Edmund Bagnell (first violin), Christopher Marchant (second violin), Trevor Wadleigh (viola), and cellist Daniel Shevlin. Saugatuck isn’t new to Shevlin, as he is a Mason Street Warehouse alumni, who performed in the musical “Alter Boys”.

 

See why the New York Times says Well-Strung is, “A talented quartet of men who sing and play instruments … brilliantly fusing pop and classical music from Madonna to Beethoven.”

 

Well-Strung is sponsored by Hilliard Lyons of Holland, CKC Architect/Charles Carlson, Scott Habermehl, Renee Zita, Larry Gammons & Carl Jennings.
