"Exotic Grooves opens the season with rhythm, surprise, and a string quartet concert unlike any other.

Multi-instrumentalist Abe Lagrimas Jr. joins the Galliard String Quartet for a program where ukulele, strings, folk dances, global rhythms, and drumset all collide. From intimate textures to driving grooves, the evening builds toward Shostakovich reimagined in a bold new sound world.

This is chamber music with a pulse."
