The University at Buffalo Center for the Arts presents pop-culture instrumentalists Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7. Tickets go on sale March 21 and will be available online at ubcfa.org, Ticketmaster or at the UBCFA ticket office.
With over 2 billion streams, almost 4 million downloads and over 1 million physical units sold, the Billboard-charting ensemble is known for its classical reinterpretations of pop hits. VSQ’s songs have been prominently featured in the Netflix and Shondaland Original series “Bridgerton” among many others.
For 25 years, VSQ has been a classical crossover force in contemporary music. Fresh off a high-profile placement in season three of “Bridgerton,” VSQ has "reached a mainstream, global audience" (Variety) and "charmed the world with their classical covers" (Nylon). VSQ will perform spellbinding and innovative renditions of Taylor Swift’s music, alongside familiar hits from Billie Eilish, BTS, Bridgerton, The Weeknd and Daft Punk.
“We are thrilled to bring Vitamin String Quartet’s beloved arrangements of all things pop out to the many audiences that have already made VSQ records a part of their lives,” VSQ cellist Derek Stein said. “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 has produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists, erasing boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop, rock and pop. VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care, breathing new life into music they already love.
