Quartet Rouge: Press

Feature Article:

American Idiot at Berkeley Rep, of which Quartet Rouge was part of the band:

"...The music, terrifically orchestrated by Tom Kitt (the Tony-winning composer of “Next to Normal”), is played with impressive meticulousness and raw power by a band of eight onstage musicians."

On American Idiot:
"...Skillfully arranged for an eight-piece band, including a standout string section, they sound terrific..."
Leslie Katz - SF Examiner (Sep 17, 2009)

The surprisingly lush orchestrations of Tom Kitt (a Tony-winning composer for "Next to Normal") enhance the album's melodic variety with the sweet softness of a solo acoustic guitar or the pulsating passion of febrile strings in keyboardist Carmel Dean's dynamic nine-piece band.
