Vitamin String Quartet

“VSQ’s atmospheric hits have made classical versions of pop music cool.” – New York Observer

Since the project’s start in 1999, Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) has helped establish classical crossover as a genuine force in contemporary music while scoring unforgettable film and TV moments and providing countless listeners with the tools necessary to soundtrack their day. VSQ will be stopping at Germantown Performing Arts Center as they tour “The Music of Taylor Swift, Bridgerton, and Beyond.”

Across over 300 releases, VSQ have produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists, erasing boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop, rock, and pop. From Cardi B to Björk, Studio Ghibli to goth metal, VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care, breathing new life into music they already love.

Their longstanding VSQ Performs the Hits series has allowed them to transform the best hits pop has had to offer for the past eight years. The quartet also engages with select artists on a full-album basis.

To date, these heartfelt renditions have earned the ensemble over 1 billion streams, almost 4 million downloads, and over 1 million physical units sold. Seven of VSQ’s albums have charted with Billboard, peaking at #4 in both the Classical and Classical Crossover categories. Most recently, the full-length album VSQ Performs Lana Del Rey was nominated for Best Classical Record in the 2021 Libera Awards.

VSQ’s music has appeared in high-profile TV shows such as Netflix’s Bridgerton, HBO’s Westworld, Showtime’s Shameless, and ABC’s Modern Family. The ensemble appeared onscreen with 30 Seconds to Mars for an episode on MTV Unplugged as well as in an episode of Gossip Girl. VSQ can also be heard alongside Danny Elfman, Plain White T’s, Korn, and others.
