Houston Fiddle Week and Brazos Music are thrilled to showcase Invoke , a versatile string quartet that features both bowed and fretted instruments in concert at MATCH. Houston Fiddle Week, a program of Brazos Music, is an all-ages string camp dedicated to building community through learning and performing various musical styles.
