Warm up your Valentine’s Day with the “adventurous and immediately engaging” genre-defying string quartet Invoke. The set list from these multi-talented multi-instrumentalists incorporates Americana, folk, and an exploration of what Beethoven might have written if he had a mandolin, banjo, and the human voice at his disposal. Add signature cocktail and hors d’oeuvre pairings from Maine Craft Distilling, and you’ve got all the ingredients for an electrifying musical adventure you won’t want to miss!

As a founding member of invoke, Zachariah has found great interest in pushing the boundaries of what is considered to be a classical ensemble, as well as exploring options to change the defined classical concert etiquette.
Karl Mitze
viola, mandolin
Karl enjoys performing music of all genres from folk to jazz and has had the honor to perform in Carnegie Hall, the New World Center, Esterházy Palace, and the National Gallery of Art among other pretty cool places.
