Join us at Chandler Tuesday, October 28th at 7PM as two world-touring acts push the boundaries of string music. Canada's genre-bending quartet The Fretless meet Sweden's Scandinavian string masters, Väsen. Expect virtuosic playing, rich textures, and an electrifying fusion of tradition and innovation. Juno Award–winning (Instrumental Album of the Year) Canadian quartet The Fretless transforms fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, high-energy arrangements that are rich, multi-layered, and uniquely percussive. While based in Toronto, The Fretless features Vermont born Eric Wright on cello! For more than 37 years, Sweden's Väsen — Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson — have honed a singular sound that combines playful precision with what seems like telepathic communication. Rooted in the traditional music of Uppland yet ever curious about new musical horizons, they weave intense, humorous, and deeply engaging performances. Playing instruments from the nyckelharpa to the electric viola, Väsen bridges centuries of tradition with modern sensibility, creating a musical language that feels both ancient and fresh. Together, these two acclaimed ensembles promise an unforgettable night of string music without borders.
