VIRTUOSA STRING QUARTET, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
The most electrifying quartet you will ever listen to.
Violins with Attitude
You’ve never heard violins rock this hard. This classically-trained all-girl string quartet plays classical and pop arrangements to high-energy dance beats, creating a sonic texture and presentation that is completely out of this world. Unlike the few other electric string quartets out there, Virtuosa plays with actual acoustic instruments with added pickups. Real acoustic instruments sound vastly better than the tinny and shrieky electric instruments, which make even the cello sound like a shrill electric guitar. Virtuosa sounds like a real string quartet, only louder. Virtuosa can play as a 4-piece or 8-piece, with an unlimited number of costume possibilities.
Carl Mack
Their Story
In 2009, Carl Mack had a vision of an all-girl string quartet, dressed in extravagant clothes and playing electrified instruments to thumping backing beats. Unsure of how to proceed, Mack enlisted the help of New Orleans producer and arranger Jack Craft. Craft’s background as a rock musician and reputation as a cellist made him perfect to recruit and produce such a group, and thus Virtuosa was born.
