The Triforce Quartet is a traditional string quartet that plays video game music. The group began innocently with a short Zelda medley for a recital encore in early 2007. The video of them using traditional string quartet instruments to play classic games music gained viral popularity that summer. Thanks to this, cellist Chad Schwartz was able to combine his love for video games with years of classical training arranging a variety of video game themes that even non-gamers can enjoy. The quartet takes audience members on an unforgettable musical journey.
The Triforce Quartet has played sold-out shows at PAX Prime in Seattle, PAX East in Boston; MAGFest in Washington DC, and the iDIG Music Festival in Ireland!
PROJECT FUSION SAXOPHONE QUARTET:
Dave Doescher
Dannel Espinoza
Matt Evans
Doug O’Connor
Project Fusion strives to connect and inspire audiences through kinetic performances, adventurous programming, artistic kinship, and shenanigans. The quartet is a Laureate of Astral Artists, “...elevating the saxophone to its rightful throne” (Splash Magazine), and they have captured top prizes in the nation’s most prestigious chamber music competitions, including the Fischoff, Coleman, Plowman, Chesapeake, and Music Teachers National Association chamber competitions. They are passionate, witty, daring, and devoted musicians who seek to share their bond with others through the excitement and intimacy of chamber music.
Project Fusion’s name is derived from the philosophy that music is an infinite, ongoing “project” guided by a sense of adventure and creativity, and that the collaboration of diverse perspectives can result in dynamic, surprising, meaningful and enjoyable artistic creations. In upcoming seasons, Fusion will explore the music of video games, perform as orchestral soloists, and present world premieres of works written by diverse composers in performances across the USA.
