Backtrack
A YouTube sensation with performances at Carnegie Hall, Backtrack is a five-person a cappella group based in New York City that explores the power of the human voice through unique vocal arrangements, tight harmonies, and world-class beatboxing. They infuse heart and humor into every performance and push the limits of a cappella by creating impressive covers of past and present pop music, writing inspiring original compositions, and daring to take on unexpected genres such as classical and electronic music.
Pro Arte Quartet
The world-renowned Pro Arte String Quartet returns to perform a harmonious balance of old and new classical music with intense emotion and energy. Hailed as “one of the greatest quartets of our time” by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Quartet currently features violinists David Perry and Suzanne Beia, violist Sally Chisholm, and cellist Parry Karp. As the resident ensemble at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, they perform a series of live radio broadcasts each season, and also perform worldwide including recitals at the White House, Europe, and Asia.
