Violists serenade customers at Quincy Gas

""They're all dedicated to violas - so dedicated that you can't help but fall in love with the instrument because their passion is so pure," Kertzman said. "It's an incredible feeling to watch them play with such heart, and that's what it's all about.""

""It's definitely one of the most unconventional or unusual gigs I've ever played," said Luke Norman, a Jamaica Plain-based violinist. He performed on a five-string violin that extends into a viola's range."

""You start playing when that person pulls up, and you play just for that one person," said violist Caroline Leguia. "You read their energy, and you tailor what you're doing to them.""

""It was well received. The customers loved it," Kertzman said, reflecting on the musicians' performances at the gas station."

On April 10, musicians performed live classical music at Quincy Gas, transforming a typical gas station visit into a unique experience. Owner Harvey Kertzman sought dedicated viola players to engage customers with one-on-one performances. The musicians, selected for their passion, created a meaningful atmosphere as they tailored their music to the energy of individual customers. The unconventional setting was well received, with customers appreciating the personal touch of live music while refueling their vehicles.
