Experience First Friday ArtWalk at the Downtown Athletic Club in partnership with the Eugene Symphony. Join us in the Lobby for an evening of live music performed by a fantastic classical/folk string quartet comprised of Eugene Symphony musicians, surrounded by the vibrant spirit of downtown Eugene.
About Fiddletête:
Fiddletête is a string quartet serving up Celtic, Nordic, and American fiddle styles enmeshed in lush harmonies and rollicking grooves. Following in the footsteps of the Mark O’Connor/ Yo-Yo Ma/ Edgar Meyer Appalachian Waltz collaboration and the Danish String Quartet, Fiddletête blurs the line between classical and folk, charting a third musical path: one with all the artistry and precision of a symphony player, but with the spontaneous soul of a fiddler.

Ben Ermantraut, violin
Jay Sedloff, viola
