COTUIT – The highly acclaimed singing string quartet, “Well-Strung”, will be coming to the Cotuit Center for the Arts next month.
Returning for their third performance at the Center, “Well-Strung” is a renowned string quartet with a modern twist, “brilliantly fusing pop and classical music from Madonna to Beethoven,” said the New York Times.
Featuring Edmund Bagnell on first violin, Christopher Marchant on second violin, Daniel Shevlin on cello, and Trevor Wadleigh on viola, “Well-Strung” mixes Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Vivaldi with pop hits by such stars as Adele, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Brittney Spears, and others.
All four members of “Well-Strung” are accomplished classical and musical theater musicians with a love for pop music and instinctive ability to meld the two genres.
With light hearts and considerable charm, they have a reputation as heart throbs that provide a uniquely engaging experience.
Christopher Marchant and producer Mark Cortale founded the group in 2012 in Provincetown after Marchant realized his love for both “high and low art.”
The goal of the group is to make classical music more accessible and to give pop music a new dimension, as they mix their music with stories and anecdotes.
“Some People have a very serious attitude when it comes to classical music, about protecting an ancient art, whereas we can just have fun doing it,” Wadleigh said in a 2013 interview.
The quartet has performed throughout the U.S. and have gained international attention, performing at the Vatican and at a Gala for President Obama.
Their viral music video “Chelsea’s Mom” led to a special requested performance for Hillary Clinton herself.
The event is set to take place Monday, August 12th at 7:30 p.m. and is presented by the Cotuit Center for the Arts and Mark Cortale.
Tickets $55, $50 for balcony seating, there is a $5 discount for members.

Cotuit Center for the Arts is located at 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit.
