An Evening with The Wires Alternative String Duo

The Wires are a modern exploration in string sound and they are excited to make their Charlotte House Series debut. Created in Kansas City, Missouri, Laurel Morgan Parks, violin, and Sascha Groschang, cello, have been composing dynamic and cinematic music as best friends since 2009. Their music is inspired by imagery found in the natural world, folk styles, and modern string techniques. Following their debut album in 2012, their 2nd album “Wilder” (May 2019) is an imagined journey that includes depths of the oceanic world, the vast expanse of Celtic hills, the coldness of frozen tundra, and a discovery of the cosmos. Their holiday album, “Winter” (December 2020) encompasses a cinematic, yet intimate timbre, with the classic sounds of the season. The album was arranged by the duo and includes an original piece, ‘Campbell Street.’ The Wires were also the hosts and curators of “Sound Currents” on 91.9 Classical KC – a weekly radio program that explores and discovers a broad range of new music. The duo performs at festivals, concert halls, and music venues in the Midwest and beyond. Join us!
