Medusa Quartet

Highway 19 Concerts presents the Western string quartet reimagined by four expert folk musicians from Toronto. Medusa is Georgia Hathaway on violin, Lea Kirstein on cello and viola, Marta Sołek on Polish fiddle, Greek lira and cello, and Saskia Tomkins on nyckelharpa and violin. For these four seasoned players, whose collective experience as side players in successful bands spans decades, Medusa is a refuge for natural creation. Their dynamic arrangement style blends the sounds of Middle Eastern, Scandinavian, Celtic, Appalachian, and Eastern European music, as well as original tunes.
