LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Soper Reese Theatre Contemporary Chamber Series presents the string quintet, “Cosa Nostra Strings” on Sunday, Feb. 18, at 3 p.m.

This four-concert series is produced by Beth Aiken with generous support from Kirsten Olson and Aaron and Anne Bigalow.

Cosa Nostra Strings specializes in original hybrid crossover music ranging from acoustic heavy metal to power ballads and everything in between utilizing its unique instrumentation of cello, viola, violin, trombone, bass and percussion.

This five-piece powerhouse crew features conservatory trained classical musicians who bring a provocative, precise, punk-rock personality to a highly distinguished multi-style sound. Spanning centuries of genres, you’ll hear diverse influences from around the world: funk infusion, folk, western chamber music, jazz and most certainly 1980s rock ballads.

This group collaborates with many Grammy-nominated artists and has worked with Martin Luther, the Roots, P-Funk and the West Coast's most in-demand rap artists.

Reserved seat tickets are $20 and $15, and are available online at www.soperreesetheatre.com or at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main St., Lakeport, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
