CLARKSVILLE, TN – Nationally acclaimed Invoke string quartet will perform 3 p.m. March 1 at Austin Peay State University’s Mabry Concert Hall, 801 Marion St.
“We’re excited to be coming to you, March 1, with a concert of musical storytelling through our original songs as well as music by some of our greatest influences like Duke Ellington, Florence Price, Joseph Haydn,” Invoke violinist Zach Matteson said.
The multi-instrumental quartet, based in Austin, Texas, encompasses traditions from across America, including classical, bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz and minimalism. The ensemble weaves together violin, banjo, cello, viola, mandolin and voice to form a unique contemporary repertoire, featuring original works composed by and for the group.
“We hope you walk away with a new perspective on what a string quartet can be,” Matteson said.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive at 2 p.m. for the pre-concert talk presented by Dr. Jacob Aaron Schnitzer, Austin Peay State University Orchestra conductor.
