The String Queens

The String Queens do not play in one world. They play in all of them. This Washington D.C. based string trio moves fluidly from the Baroque era, to the Jazz Age, to today’s Billboard Hot 100, bringing an authentic, soulful, and orchestral sound every stop along the way. Praised for their ability to inspire audiences to love, hope, feel, and imagine, they are the kind of ensemble that reminds you how much a great string trio can do.

• Carnegie Hall to Wimbledon: The String Queens have performed at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, delivered a special performance dedicated to Vice President Kamala Harris, and brought their electrifying arrangement of Harry Styles’s “Golden” to the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament at Wimbledon. They are fixtures of the D.C. jazz scene, with multiple appearances at the D.C. Jazz Festival and Capital Jazz Fest.
• Three Musicians, One Mission: At the heart of everything The String Queens do is a belief that music belongs to everyone. Their work across concert halls, jazz festivals, and community stages reflects a genuine commitment to reaching diverse audiences with programs that are as accessible as they are artistically ambitious, and the warmth of that mission is felt the moment they start to play.
• Music Rooted in Hope: Their 2022 album RISE, features original arrangements of works by Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson, designed as a sonic journey from loss to triumph. It is the clearest statement yet of what the String Queens are about: music that does not just entertain but lifts your spirit.

An evening with The String Queens is a rousing, joyful, and deeply human musical journey. Come ready to feel the feels.
