In September of 2022, four friends decided to try sightreading some pieces because they were bored...fast forward three years and they've become a semi-professional string quartet that has played many events including: galas, graduations, weddings, real estate open houses, and volunteer events. We have fun playing anything, from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to Beethoven string quartets, we love it all!
We would love to work with you at your next event!
