It all began in 2012 with a group of best friends. we played in our violinist’s family wedding just for fun and the idea took off from there.

from having solos at carnegie hall to performing in the countryside in kenya, and touring with bands 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 having played around the world together for over a decade, and that makes all the difference.

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