Welcome to Intermezzo from Interlochen Public Radio, where we take a few minutes to bounce some ideas around about classical music.
Have you watched the hit movie "KPop Demon Hunters"? Join Christy L'Esperance and her co-host this week, Millie, as they explore the catchy and powerful music from the film and the Vitamin String Quartet versions. We heard about Huntrix yesterday, the K-pop trio that also hunts demons.
Huntrix has to work really hard to defeat the demons and monsters that manage to sneak into our world.
Like Huntrix, the Vitamin String Quartet is an ensemble that works hard touring — they start a tour next week that involves performing almost every night for two full months in the US and UK. They have over 300 releases, over 2 billion streams, and almost 4 million downloads.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Here’s part of their version on “Soda Pop.”
