Just
when you thought the world of music had been taken over by MTV, with blasting
guitars
and screaming people, along comes a group of young musicians who delight the heart and
soothe the soul!
The
Strolling Strings are composed of young talented people from grade school through high
school age who wish to learn advanced string techniques.
They are magical performers who are trying to maintain an excellence in
stringed instruments and the performance arts.
Unlike
a traditional orchestra, the Strollers memorize their music and perform among the audience
often dancing as they play. They pratice the concept originated with the gypsy
violinists of Europe of bringing music to the people.
Each
student is required to belong to their school orchestra (if available), take private
lessons and attend a weekly Strolling Strings rehearsal.
The
Strollers play a variety of stringed instruments including violin, viola, cello, bass,
guitar, banjo, etc. and are accompanied by the piano.
The
Antioch Strolling Strings are available for your special event from October though June
and have performed at everything from private parties to festivals. They perform a selection of string music ranging
from classical to contemporary, big band, folk and bluegrass. Your guests will love finding their favorite style
in the performance! |
