Medusa

Saturday, October 4 @ 2 pm

Wielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet. By inviting back voices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful. With their Canadian Folk Music Award (CFMA) Nominated debut album, their dynamic arrangement style cross-pollinates the sounds of Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music, as well as original tunes, to create something previously unheard. The band connects audiences across dividing lines of culture and identity to reveal the common threads beneath. medusaquartet.com
