UNFILTERED charts the evolution of four individuals filled with raw unbridled passion for chamber music. We explore as a string quartet what it takes to work together in a chaotic world and overcome challenges through music and friendship. As Beethoven once said, "True friendship can be based only on the union of similar ways of being.” Experience the synthesis of minds and personalities through some of the greatest chamber music ever written. Join the Balourdet Quartet on this journey with exciting stage and lighting design in this innovative concert experience!
