HSQ Does Christmas (again)
The original rock string quartet, HSQ plays traditional, priceless accoustic instruments and adds rock amplification, smoke and lights to move classical music into the 21st century.  Together for over twenty years, HSQ has devoted its professional career to arranging, recording and performing rock classics.   Grammy-nominated and Juilliard-trained, HSQ continues to set the standard for string interpretations of rock.  Starting with its original album on RCA, "What If Mozart Wrote 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and the three additional albums in the series, HSQ has developed a recognizable style and a devoted fan base.   HSQ has performed in venues around the world from Queen Elizabeth Hall (London), City Hall (Hong Kong), and The Grand Ol Opry to the Hard Rock Casino (Las Vegas).  They have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightwatch" and FX-TV and their recordings have been featured in the soundtracks of "Ram Dass, First Grace" and "Blue Helmets."   HSQ has recorded with *NSync, Britney Spears and Cyndi Lauper and their video of "Get A Job" won a Grammy nomination.   Their independently released CDs, "Sympathy For The Devil," "HSQ Rides Again" and their new rock CD, "Take No Prisoners" epitomize the best in musicality, in both the string quartet and rock genres.
