The Kodak Quartet from New York is part of IPR’s Sound Garden Project, which plants music in unexpected places.

Martin Noh is a founding member of the Kodak Quartet.

"When you think of a normal chamber musician, you would think you're sitting in a concert hall or a little space and you're just watching the performer play," Noh said.

So far, the quartet has popped up in places like breweries, hardware stores and will perform at Little Fleet on Wednesday night.

"I think for tomorrow, we're gonna go out there and perform like we usually do," Noh said. "For our quartet, it's really vital and crucial that no matter what, who the audience is, we're going to be performing to our truest selves."
