Event Details
Milford Arts Council presents
Low Strung Classical Concert
Low Strung is a group of classically trained Yale University musicians turned rock cellists. Founded in 2006 by orchestra alumni, the ensemble performs iconic pop and rock songs—from Queen and The Beatles to Lady Gaga and Beyoncé—all arranged exclusively for twelve cellos. Their mission: to break down barriers between classical tradition and popular culture.
Since its founding, Low Strung has performed across the United States and around the world, appearing at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Las Vegas’s Aria Resort and Casino, and on tours through Thailand, Singapore, Costa Rica, China, Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.
