A Bit About Us
Dealing with the challenges of expanding the string community today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. We established our organization in the Fall of 2017 and emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community with music. We desire for actions to speak louder than words. Our organization is open to all who share an interest in string education, performance, musicianship, and advocacy!
