GQ (Gentlemen’s Quartet) is a modern, elegant take on some of the most famous music ever written, fusing together multiple genres in a perfect symphony of sophistication, virtuosity, and humor. GQ features Peter Sachon on cello & mandocello, Matt Scharfglass on guitar and bass, BenSaporito on drums & percussion, and music director/arranger David Shenton on piano & violin. GQ’s guest vocalist for every show will be Erin Shields. These musicians have collectively performed over 10,000shows and counting. These performances include working on Broadway, The West End, and with acclaimed artists such as Vanessa Williams, Dee Snyder, Audra McDonald, James Taylor, PinkMartini, Pinchas Zukerman, André Previn, Renee Fleming, The NY Rangers house band, MarilynMaye, The Manhattan Transfer, Paul McCartney, and many, many others. The gentlemen have also performed with major symphony orchestras and at festivals around the globe. GQ offers the audience a new, often deeper, way of listening to music, that is to say music that has proven to be timeless but has been reinvigorated by the use of clever arrangements.
