Medusa Quartet: Weaving Gold in Broken Places



Medusa Quartet is releasing their first full-length album on Feb 19. ""Weaving Gold in Broken Places"" is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which uses gold to reconnect lost pieces but allows the cracks to remain visible. These four folk innovators weave together genre-defying threads of traditional tunes from around the world, often from underrepresented voices, all played on some of the rarest instruments on earth. Virtuosic, visceral, and unforgettable, this album is set to redefine what a string quartet can be. 

“The reason Kintsugi inspires us is because it doesn’t cover up the cracks, it uses them to build a stronger container. In Medusa, we don’t shy away from our cracks either - we see them as beautiful.
