Arcx String Quartet

We are grateful for the Arcx x Tatsuya Nakatani encounter last week. There is something truly stunning and absolutely refreshing when 6 improvisors link up and become one in sound. The thrill of that togetherness is why we love making this creative music. Each member approaching the open space hand in hand, figuring it out in the moment, with generosity of heart, bringing new sounds into the fold. Thank you Tatsuya for your brilliance and fire. Your firey metalurgic flow is intense and immediate. Thank you for sharing your ear and positive energy through percussion. Thank you to FMP for having us on once again! You are a philly gem, bringing all of the best improvisors and creatives together. Thank you Perch for being the best home for this music to live in. 📷: Sepehr Pirasteh

Tonight at 8pm is Night 2 of @sepehr.pi ‘s WHITE ROOM with @arcxstringquartet at @asianartsphilly 3rd floor Duration: 1 hr @melindamyrrh - violin @2sircheck - violin @tomkraines - cello @d.moser114 - double bass “…the audience’s presence actively shapes the experience. As [they move] through the arranged objects, they become a dynamic part of the installation, directly confronting the central themes of power and control.” Part of @cannonballfest #cannonballfestival #cannonballfest2025 #philadelphiafringefestival #philadelphiafringefestival2025 #asianartsinitiative #soundinstallation #soundinstallationart #newmusic #stringquartet
