Back-to-back nights of genre-defying string music at Wachholz College Center next week

The Wachholz College Center will host two nights of bold, boundary-pushing string music as Vitamin String Quartet and co-headliners Big Richard & Della Mae take the stage on consecutive evenings. 

Audiences can experience everything from classical crossover and pop reimaginings to dynamic bluegrass and Americana with each performance showcasing the breadth and power of modern string music.

First up on Tuesday, Feb. 10, is Vitamin String Quartet. Best known for its music featured in Netflix’s “Bridgerton,” VSQ delivers innovative string performances that blend classical elegance with modern pop culture. Erasing the boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop and pop, VSQ has created fresh arrangements of familiar hit music by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, BTS, The Weeknd and Daft Punk. In doing so, they have helped introduce classical crossover music to a new generation. 

On Wednesday, Feb. 11, Grammy-nominated Della Mae returns to the Wachholz stage along with friends Big Richard, who together are touring as Big Mae. Big Mae unites these two celebrated all-female string bands into one electrifying ensemble, blending bluegrass, folk and Americana with exceptional musicianship and infectious energy. With new music brewing and plenty of mischief on stage, both bands promise powerhouse harmonies, dynamic storytelling and show-stopping instrumental skill. 

Tickets for Vitamin String Quartet on Feb. 10 start at $39.60, inclusive of all fees. Tickets for Big Mae performing Feb.11 start at $30 inclusive of all fees.  For more information about both shows or to purchase tickets, visit wccmt.org or contact the WCC ticket office at 406-756-1400.
