String Theory, formerly known as Blue Galaxy String Project, is an instrumental pop group formed in 2005 that plays an eclectic mix of originals and modern pop songs arranged for string quartet plus acoustic bass and drums. The group is comprised of six conservatory trained musicians representing Northwestern University, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, Indiana University, University of Alabama and Davidson College. The musicians are united by a common passion to expand their musical repertoire beyond the traditional roles of the string quartet.
Musicians are Caroline Nordlund and Pei-Ju Wu violins; Melanie Rodgers, viola; Sam Nordlund, cello; Abe Becker, bass; Michael Glaser, drums.
Arrangements of music are from many different sources including band members. The group prides itself on performing music from every genre.
The Leeds Arts Council will also honor the Moody High School Artists with an opening reception on Sunday, November 4 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Leeds Arts Center in downtown Leeds. The public is invited to meet the artists and enjoy their beautiful and varied works. Admission is free.
These talented artists work in a variety of mediums and styles. Their works reflect their interest in nature, pop culture, music, humor, and everyday life. Their art will be on display through December 1.
