STAGE TUBE: Well-Strung Performs Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' at Kristin Chenoweth Concert

After seeing Well-Strung's debut music video, Kristin Chenoweth, Tony & Emmy winning star of Wicked and Glee, invited the group to appear in her two sold-out Provincetown concerts this past August at Town Hall. The group just posted their stirring performance of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on their YouTube channel with an introduction by Chenoweth. Check it out below!

In October they were featured in Tony-winner Joanna Gleason's critically acclaimed new show in New York at 54 Below and New Orleans at Le Petit Theatre. Last week they shared the bill with Broadway performers Norm Lewis, Sierra Boggess and opera star Deborah Voigt in a star-studded lineup directed by Richard Jay-Alexander to open Orlando's new Walt Disney Theater. Well-Strung has just launched their second national concert tour. In the past six months they have performed on NBC's TODAY Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda and Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live. The New York Times writing about the group's current show said "Well-Strung, a talented quartet of men who sing and play string instruments - got its start in Provincetown and brilliantly fuses pop and classical music from Madonna to Beethoven."

The group also had their first major magazine cover spread in Metrosource. They have been referred to as "absolutely amazing" by BBC Radio host Jo Good during their London debut, and as "the hottest thing with a bow since Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games" by the New York Daily News. The new show POPssical, written by the group and directed by Broadway veteran Donna Drake, features new arrangements of songs by Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, U2, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Madonna and more. The four group members are Edmund Bagnell (first violin), Christopher Marchant (second violin), Daniel Shevlin (cello) and Trevor Wadleigh (viola). Arrangements are by David Levinson with additional arrangements by Bruce Carter and Well-Strung. The group was conceived by Mark Cortale and Christopher Marchant.
