The Northeastern Arts Network Will Present The Valinor Quartet

The Northeastern Arts Network will present The Valinor Quartet in their fourth performance of the Big Sky Concert Series on Thur., Feb. 4. This concert is sponsored in part by the Microtel Inn & Suites of Sidney.

The Valinor Quartet is a distinctive and talented international group of professional musicians. This all-acoustic group encompasses the diverse cultural backgrounds of its members, hailing from Russia, USA and England, to influence its stylistic diversity and unique performance aesthetic. The Valinor Quartet presents a hybrid of jazz and classical; classical highlighted by Sergei Teleshev (of Trio Voronezh) on accordion fused with jazz by members of the International String Trio - Ben Powell (violin), Slava Tolstoy (guitar) and Greg Feingold (bass). The group's riveting displays utilize a breathtaking range of styles – from classical to Beatles; from Gypsy Jazz to Klezmer, from popular movie soundtracks to Tango and a few surprises in between.

This performance will be held at the MonDak Heritage Center at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Adults/$15, Seniors/$13 and Students/$10. For additional concert information contact Candy Markwald 406-488-4155, Jill Hill 406-489-4304, or Karen Boehler 406-433-4375.

This event is made possible in part through grant support from Montana's Cultural Trust, Montana Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, the Montana Performing Arts Consortium and WESTAF.
