This fusion results in an exciting take on recent smash hits like Luis Fonsi\u2019s \u201cDespacito,\u201d as well as beloved pop classics like the Beatles\u2019 \u201cYesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\">The string quartet\u2019s mission is \u201cto disturb and innovate an industry and a style of music that has been done the same way for centuries,\u201d said violist Ion Zanca in an interview with the <i>Dallas Observer.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\">In addition to touring internationally, DSQ has performed at the White House for former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, as well as at events for the NBA, the NFL and the NCAA. The quartet has sold out venues like the House of Blues and played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Josh Groban. Along with Zanca, DSQ features violinist Eleanor Dunbar, jazz bassist Young Heo and Melissa Priller on electric violin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal1\">At a DSQ concert, audiences often have no idea what the quartet will play next. It could be a mashup of Sibelius and Led Zeppelin, or a classical take on Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d followed by a rockin\u2019 version of Maroon 5\u2019s \u201cMoves like Jagger.\u201d Classical music fans will enjoy listening to these prize-winning players strut their strings, while pop aficionados will get to hear songs they love in a whole new way.
