Medusa
In Concert
Saturday, July 25
4:30pm - 6:00pm
Clark County Library
Main TheaterWielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the Western string quartet.
By inviting back voices thought to be too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful. Medusa cross-pollinates music from the Celtic, Scandinavian, Middle Eastern, European, and American traditions with original music, engaging stories, and their one-of-a-kind stringed instruments to create a must-see live show.
Medusa is: Geo Hathaway (violin), Lea Kirstein (violin, viola, cello), Marta Solek (suka, plock fiddle, cello) and Saskia Tomkins (violin, viola, cello, nyckelharpa). For these four seasoned string players, whose collective experience as side players in successful bands spans decades, Medusa is a refuge for natural creation. Their immediate and electrifying connection is transmuted through a common string language, a love of enigmatic and obscure folk fiddles, and their personal stories of navigating society’s liminal spaces.
Free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information please call 702.507.3459.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
