It all began in 2012 with a group of best friends. we played in our violinist’s family wedding for fun and the idea took off in a matter of weeks. from playing solos at carnegie hall to performing in nairobi, kenya to teaching private music lessons, our group of musicians not only have a wide array of professional music experience with each having played their instrument for 20+ years, but we are also the absolute best of friends and that makes all the difference.

sharing music with you is not our job — it’s our passion.

We’ve come a long way since then :)
