What kind of music do you play?We specialize in something called “classical chamber music” which is music for small ensembles composed from 500 years ago to just last month. But we don’t make your gran’s brand of concerts! We take the “playing” part of our work seriously, dabbling in some crossover genre-blurring with bluegrass and jazz, and creating thoughtfully designed concerts to deliver a unique, friendly, and welcoming experience for every listener.

Do I have to dress up?No! Come as you are.
