Expedition Strings!

Expedition Strings brings a world class ensemble to a science museum setting in order to share the value of creativity and play in today's world. As a functioning creative consortium, the Balourdet Quartet brings their passion for building a creative ecosystem as well as shaping a culture of play to children and parents alike. Audiences will have the opportunity to participate in an actualized creative experience alongside the quartet and experience a fun filled, entertaining, and artistically engaging performance of some of the world’s leading chamber musicians. Expedition Strings utilizes a wide variety of new and old favorites of the string quartet repertoire to inspire parents and children in a safe space built in the spirit of creativity and wonder. As an established ensemble, families can experience the four musicians of the Balourdet Quartet bringing each of their creative minds into building one breathing organism through a shared musical language.
