Vitamin String Quartet brings 'Bridgerton' and pop covers to Davis Concert Hall on Nov. 14

The string group that fans know from Netflix's 'Bridgerton' plays UAF's concert hall on Saturday, Nov. 14, the night after its Anchorage date.

For a lot of people, the first time they heard Vitamin String Quartet they didn't know it. It was a pop song arranged for strings, playing under a ballroom scene in *Bridgerton*. Next Saturday, that sound comes to the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.

Vitamin String Quartet plays Davis Concert Hall on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. Tickets are through SeatGeek. It's the night after the group's Anchorage date on Nov. 13, which makes these two shows its Alaska swing. We have no record of an earlier Fairbanks show by the group.

The quartet's appeal is simple: classical musicians playing hit songs. NPR stations profiled the group in 2025 as "the classical musicians who cover hits on *Bridgerton*," and the show's use of its arrangements brought it a much bigger audience. This year's tour has been billed in many cities as "The Music of Billie Eilish, Bridgerton, and Beyond," with earlier runs built around Taylor Swift. It has been a long year on the road, with U.S. dates since February, including Missoula's Wilma and Mesa Arts Center, and a U.K. leg in March that included Edinburgh's Queen's Hall and Derby Cathedral.

Fairbanks comes at the very end. The group's U.S. run, by its tour listings, closes on Nov. 14, so this is the last stop of the year. Ending a tour in the Interior in November is a story in itself.

The room suits the music. The Charles W. Davis Concert Hall is in UAF's Fine Arts Complex, which also houses the Lee H. Salisbury Theatre and the Eva McGown Music Room. It was completed in 1974 as an 1,100-seat auditorium, and university music pages now list it at about 900 seats. It's named for Charles W. Davis, a Fairbanks musician and teacher, and it was renovated in 2003. It's where the UAF Music Department holds its concerts and where the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra performs. In other words, it was built for unamplified strings.

That makes it a different setting than many stops on this tour. Hearing these arrangements in a hall designed for acoustic music, rather than a rock club, should flatter the quartet. The details in a string arrangement are the point, and a concert hall lets you hear them.

The audience will likely be a mix: *Bridgerton* fans, people who know the original songs, and regulars from the campus concert series who know the hall. Expect to recognize a lot of the tunes, even if it takes a bar or two to place them.

Practical notes: it's a 7 p.m. start on a Saturday in mid-November, so plan for the cold, the dark and the parking walk on campus. Tickets are through SeatGeek, the seller on our listing.

It's a string quartet playing pop songs, at the end of a tour that ran from February to November, in a hall built for strings. That's a good way to spend a Saturday night in Fairbanks in November.
