Coldplay is known for its lead vocalist Chris Martin and the distinctive sound created by Gerry Berryman, Phil Harvey, Johnny Buckland, and Will Champion. Fans respond to the band’s ever-changing sound and its willingness to experiment. From the alternative and indie rock songs on Parachutes to the synth-pop hits on Music of the Spheres, Coldplay continues to redefine the rock genre.
A Listeso string quartet is taking to the stage to reimagine some of the British band’s greatest hits on strings.
