Ths Siskiyou Institute kicks off it's Fall season with the Real Vocal String Quartet on Thursday September 9 at Paschal Winery as part of our New Artist Series. The group features Irene Sazer, violin and voice, Alisa Rose, violin and voice, Dina Maccabee, viola and voice & Jessica Ivry, cello and voice. RVSQ was formed in 2003 by premier San Francisco violinist/composer Irene Sazer. Since then, the quartet has performed to sold out audiences around the Bay Area, and is currently putting the finishing touches on their first studio album. RVSQ’s influences range from traditional American string band music to contemporary improvisation, from Brazilian folk rhythms to hypnotic meditations from West Africa. Through it all, the threads of spine-tingling vocal and instrumental harmony and fearless, inspired improvisation weave a web of original acoustic music played with a deep groove.
