What to Expect
The Listeso String Quartet reimagines modern rock with classical arrangements, stripping songs down to their emotional core. You’ll hear familiar melodies in a completely different way. Think “Fix You” without the stadium production, just pure strings and sentiment. Seating is first-come, first-served within each zone, so arriving early gets you the best view of the performance.

The Setlist
The tentative program includes Coldplay’s “Clocks,” “Adventure of a Lifetime,” “Fix You,” “The Scientist,” “feelslikeimfallinginlove,” “Sky Full of Stars,” and “Viva la Vida,” alongside Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive,” “Eyes Closed,” “Nice to Meet You,” “Follow You,” “Bad Liar,” and “Believer.” The quartet takes these high-energy anthems and rebuilds them from the ground up, letting you focus on the melodies that made them hits in the first place.

Make It a Night Out
The show wraps up around 7:30 PM, leaving plenty of time for dinner or drinks downtown. Groups of 30 or more can book private concert options. Gift cards are also available if you want to treat someone to the experience.

The library transforms into an intimate venue where you can experience rock anthems in a whole new light. Grab your tickets and see how strings and candlelight change everything.
