The University at Buffalo Center for the Arts (UBCFA) presents pop-culture instrumentalists Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) on Oct. 7, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale March 21 and will be available online at ubcfa.org, Ticketmaster or at the UBCFA Ticket Office.
With over two billion streams, almost four million downloads and over one million physical units sold, the Billboard-charting ensemble is known for their classical reinterpretations of pop hits. Their songs have been prominently featured in the Netflix and Shondaland Original series “Bridgerton” among many others.
For 25 years VSQ has been a classical crossover force in contemporary music. Fresh off a high-profile placement in Season Three of “Bridgerton”, VSQ has "reached a mainstream, global audience" (Variety) and "charmed the world with their classical covers" (Nylon). VSQ will perform spellbinding and innovative renditions of Taylor Swift’s music, alongside familiar hits from Billie Eilish, BTS, Bridgerton, The Weeknd and Daft Punk.
“We are thrilled to bring Vitamin String Quartet’s beloved arrangements of all things pop out to the many audiences that have already made VSQ records a part of their lives,” says VSQ cellist Derek Stein. “We can’t wait to dive into all of our favorites—new and old—with our fans across the US!”
Across over 300 releases, VSQ has produced cutting-edge string renditions of a highly eclectic mix of artists, erasing boundaries between classical, dance, hip-hop, rock and pop. VSQ approaches their renditions with respect and care, breathing new life into music they already love.
Tickets are available for $25, $39 and $49. For ticket information visit ubcfa.org or call 716-645-2787. The UBCFA ticket office is open Tuesday through Friday from noon–6 p.m.
