Graminy Chamber Group
September 10 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Graminy is an award-winning ensemble that creates a unique and engaging soundscape they call “class-grass”. They fuse components of grassroots and classical traditions, creating performances that are energetic and inquisitive, with quick changes and generous improvisation. The group’s instrumentation blends a classical string trio (violins, viola and cello) with elements of a bluegrass rhythm section (mandolin, guitar and banjo) to create something, “…both complex and immediate, elusive and apparent.”
