TSQT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_String_Quartet_Tribute

The String Quartet Tribute
is a series of string quartet covers released by Vitamin Records by several different groups of musicians. They focus on one band per record, and perform classical versions of their songs, note for note generally. They use a wide array of instruments but focus mainly on violins and cellos. Over the years, they have put out a staggering amount of albums (214), honoring both mainstream and indie groups alike. They have put a classical spin on many genres of music, including rock, pop, punk, techno, hardcore, emo, country, metal and rap.

Todd Mark Rubenstein has led one of several groups of players that have released albums in the series. This includes Exit... Stage Right: String Quartet Tribute to Rush which was nominated for a Grammy.

***i am so into them right now. gusto kong i-perform ng choir ang mga kantang tinugtog nila. i can almost imagine the choir having a concert with ballet dancers onstage. grabe. gusto kong ilagay sa pyesa ang mga kanta para mamemorize ko mga arrangements. so cool!
