The Gateway Project announced their 2015 Winter Fete hosted in their gallery space Saturday, December 12, with an incredible line up of performances.
Benefit Feature: Chargaux
Charly and Margaux, popularly known as Chargaux are a Brooklyn based art collective. As a string duo who both compose and perform original works they have altered the reputation of classical instruments and the people who play them. Utilizing elements of visual art and creative fashion, they continue to pioneer a new breed of musicianship. Recently featured in Vogue, Opening Ceremony and the Huffington Post, the duo is said to be making Orchestra (So Very) Cool.
“Watching Chargaux perform does feel like viewing a performance piece, their bold outfits and ever-shifting hairstyles almost harmonizing with their sound. The philosophy behind dressing well flows smoothly with their inspirationally groovy mantra: “Keep going and be limitless.” – Pricilla Frank, Huffington Post.
