Showcase Description
GQ is a modern, elegant take on some of the most famous music ever written, fusing together multiple genres in a symphony of sophistication, virtuosity and humor, offering audiences a deeper way of listening to music. The showcase will feature a Fantasia on Beethoven’s most famous works: 5th & 9th Symphonies, Moonlight Sonata & Fur Elise, performed like never before in a scintillating fusion of latin & rock. A guest vocalist will join the quartet to perform Adagio, a best-selling pop tune set to the ever popular "Albinoni’s Adagio.” The showcase will conclude with a special arrangement of some of history’s most exciting music: Rhapsody in Blue, Revolutionary Study, New York State of Mind, Eye of the Tiger and Brahms’ Hungarian Dance #5. It is a testament to the versatility and unlimited imagination of the musical language that music from centuries apart can be brought together that has been reinvigorated effortlessly to produce arrangements that are accessible, beautiful, and cerebral.

Showcase Question Response
Community Educational Outreach
1. Arranging music for orchestras and/or choral ensembles of all ages to be performed onstage with the quartet at the local live concert. We can work with large or small choirs and orchestras. And since numbers in choirs and orchestras vary all arrangements are custom made for the communities we visit.
2. School performances (pre-school through grade 12) with a Q&A at the end for the children to ask the performers their questions.
3. Masterclass/Workshop in technique and musical expression performing any number of styles/genres (Classical, Broadway, Jazz, Pop, etc.). For all ages, but especially good for high schools and colleges.
Would this artist like to be considered for a Spotlight/Speed Pitch if they are not selected to showcase?
