GQ (Gentlemen's Quartet) Will Perform Classical-Pop Fusion Show at Feinstein's

 GQ (Gentlemen's Quartet) has a modern, elegant take on some of the most famous music ever written, fusing together multiple genres in a perfect symphony of sophistication, virtuosity, and humor.

GQ features Peter Sachon on cello and mandocello, Matt Scharfglass on guitars and bass, Ben Saporito on drums and percussion and David Shenton on piano and violin. These four musicians have collectively performed over 10,000 shows and counting. 

Their performances include working on Broadway, The West End and with acclaimed artists such as Vanessa Williams, Dee Snyder, Audra McDonald, James Taylor, Pink Martini, Marilyn Maye, The Manhattan Transfer, Paul McCartney and many others. The gentlemen have also performed with major symphony orchestras and at festivals around the globe.

GQ offers the audience a new, often deeper, way of listening to music. Music that has proven to be timeless  has been reinvigorated by the use of clever arrangements. For example, their rendition of “All of Me” by John Legend features the fusing together of a Chopin “Nocturne,” Elgar's “Cello Concerto,” Ed SHeeran's “Perfect” and Michael Nyman's “The Piano.” The audience can listen to each selection and enjoy the familiar tunes, easily following along as they listen. But, if the audience wants to listen more closely, GQ offers audiences a deeper, more engaging way to experience music through clever, genre-blending arrangements. Their performances are both accessible and intellectually rich, showcasing the unlimited possibilities of musical imagination.

It is by developing these new and unique arrangements that GQ sets itself apart from every other group. It is a testament to the versatility and unlimited possibilities of imagination of the musical language, how music from centuries apart can be brought together seamlessly and effortlessly to produce arrangements that are accessible, beautiful, and cerebral.
