On Saturday Night at the Tulsa PAC, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet Returns to Town

Aired on Friday, January 23rd.

On Saturday the 24th, in a performance beginning at 8pm, the highly acclaimed Rastrelli Cello Quartet will return to Tulsa. The concert happens at the Williams Theatre in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center and is presented by Choregus Productions. Our guest is the founder and artistic director of this group, Kira Kraftzoff. As he explains, the Rastrelli has been deliberately focused on -- and enthusiastically passionate about -- what classical music buffs sometimes call "non-traditional programming" since its inception in 2002. This is a cello-wielding foursome, in other words, that is as comfortable the music of Bach and Tchaikovsky as it is with that of Dave Brubeck and The Beatles. You can find out more about the Rastrelli Cello Quartet at this link, and can access a YouTube clip of them here, and can finally learn more about their upcoming show in Tulsa at the Choregus website.
