POP STRING QUARTET

We LOVE playing rock and pop music!

For the past 10+ years I have been exploring the many ways to play rock, pop and jazz on strings. This has led to performances with the living music legends Green Day, Barbara Streisand, Smokey Robinson, Nena, Robin Gibbs (The Bee Gee’s), Machine Head, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Tommy Lee, Josh Groban, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and plenty of collaborations with local singer songwriters.

This love of popular music has prompted me to write 100’s of pop/rock arrangments for string quartet. These enthralling string versions capture the rhythmic drive of the original tunes while assimilating the unique qualities of strings.

When you know you want the sound of strings but the songs of your favorite bands, SYNCHRONICITY Strings is your group!
