May 30, 2027 – Xenia Concerts and TO Live present: Medusa Quartet!
Concert Description
Wielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk innovators 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.
This is a rare opportunity to see these four stellar performers together on stage presented in a family-friendly style that embraces neurodiversity and disability. Therapy dogs will be present, provided by One Health Partners.
