What We've Been Up To

It's been a moment since we last checked in, so we wanted to share an important update. Vitamin String Quartet stands with the ongoing fight for racial justice. We have begun our support of these efforts with contributions to three incredible organizations: The Equal Justice Initiative, UNCF and the NAACP. Please click through the image below to read more:

What''s New? (What''s Going On In the World of VSQ)

Talk Around Town

Suggested Daily Values (Ideas for Mindfulness and Relaxation)

We often hear that people like to listen to VSQ while they get work done, so we thought we'd share something that has been getting us through the workday. Julius Eastman is an incredible composer whose contemporary classical music took influence from pop and whose work only came to be fully appreciated after he had passed. Check out this recently reissued, beautiful, minimal, and slowly building 1974 recording if you're looking to hear something different!

ROCKSTAR VSQ Performs DaBaby and Roddy Ricch

We got together in the open air of a nearby Los Angeles rooftop and recorded a brand new video for our rendition of "Rockstar" by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch. We are so proud of this video (these drone footage views are incredible!), so please check it out below and share it with a friend. Afterwards, you can stream the song as part of our brand new album, VSQ Performs the Hits of 2020, Vol. 2.

VSQ Christmas Album

Deep Dive of Winter Music

As it gets colder and the prospects of spending time outside get slimmer, we turn to our stereos for both at home comfort and a bit of escape. Luckily, the folks at Classic FM have compiled a list of 25 classical works inspired by winter.

Some might help you get warm while bundled up with a mug of hot tea like ?mile Waldteufel's "The Skater''s Waltz, Op. 183" or Claude Debussy's "The Snow Is Dancing," while others capture the icy chill of the season at its most dramatic, Vaughan Williams's "Sinfonia Antartica" for instance.

Additionally, BBC Classical Music has offered a fascinating history of Christmas music, tracing the history of carols all the way back to the 14th century! And you thought our rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" was a throwback!

Howl's Moving Castle 

We got some fresh air and put together a video for our rendition of "Merry Go Round Of Life" from Howl's Moving Castle! We've been revisiting all the classic Studio Ghibli films all summer and remembering how much we love them. If you love these films as well, don't forget that we've recorded music from many of them on our album The World of Studio Ghibli, one of our favorite projects to date!

We're so excited to share the first video in our new how-to series! In this inaugural video, our producer/arranger Pablo Hopenhayn discusses how he arranges simple melodies to keep an instrumental rendition sounding fresh and lively throughout. For this demonstration, we take a closer look at Justin Bieber's "Intentions," off our latest release, VSQ Performs the Hits of 2020. Give it a look and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

We''re back with our second VSQ How-To video, featuring VSQ producer and performer Pablo Hopenhayn. In this one, he discusses our rendition of Tones and I''s hit "Dance Monkey" and how he arranged it to make the strings swing. See the video below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Back to School

Big Me (Foo Fighters at 25!)

We are thrilled to release our second collaboration with the L.A. Contemporary Dance Company. The work of the nine dancers and choreographers involved in this video is stunning and emotive, speaking to isolation and anger. We love the dark undercurrent in The Weeknd's music and visuals, and with the LACDC, we were able to honor that and highlight it. Please watch and dive in to this innovative and emotive dance company's excellent work!
