The Fretless, a Juno Award winning quartet will be bringing their East Coast musical mix to the program with the Symphony of the Kootenays (SOTK) on Saturday, March 1 at Key City Theatre.

It will be a unique evening that will bring together local symphony players and the Juno-Award winning The Fretless, a super-group of celebrated solo artists.

The Fretless has been creating a singular and signature sound that dares to expand the idea of what a string music quartet can be — transforming fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements that have quickly gained a dedicated following and accolades from around the world.

Within what appears to be a simple and classical construct — two fiddles, a viola, and a cello — The Fretless has created a sound that is distinctly rich, multi-layered, and uniquely percussive. This tonal quality is pushing traditional music to new heights, producing a completely fresh approach to Folk music.
