"Echoes of Home"

Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 5:00 P.M. - All Saints Episcopal Church, 6301 Parkman Place, Cincinnati, OH 45213.

Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 5:00 P.M. - Temple Sholom, 10828 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash OH 45242

Our season opener, “Echoes of Home,” features Shelley Washington’s “Middle Ground”, which the composer describes as “my refuge born from the land living in my heart”, as well as folk song and dance settings by the Danish String Quartet. The heart of the program is Dvorak’s famous “American” Quartet, which he wrote on a visit to Iowa while homesick for his native Prague.

"Cornerstones"

Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. - All Saints Episcopal Church, 6301 Parkman Place, Cincinnati, OH 45213.

Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. - Temple Sholom, 10828 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash OH 45242

Our winter concerts feature two “Cornerstones” of the quartet repertoire, both of which set the standard for everything that followed. We’ll begin with Mozart’s D minor, written in tribute to his teacher, Haydn, the inventor of the string quartet. The centerpiece of the program is Bartok’s monumental 4th Quartet, which redefined what was possible for a string quartet, and features one of the most beautiful and haunting slow movements ever written.

“Breaking New Ground”

Saturday, March 21, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. - All Saints Episcopal Church, 6301 Parkman Place, Cincinnati, OH 45213.

Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. - Temple Sholom, 10828 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash OH 45242

We close our season with “Breaking New Ground,” a program featuring Beethoven’s “Harp” Quartet (so named for all the plucking in the first movement), and a world premiere by our own violinist, Mable Lecrone, along with music by the Danish String Quartet.

Playing chamber music requires players to lead, follow, and persevere, all skills essential to success in school, relationships, and work. The Cincinnati String Project provides students with collaborative experiences that help them build these valuable skills.

Each week, our 50 students receive private lessons on violin, viola, cello, and bass and play in small ensembles. They also perform regularly as individuals, alongside their teachers, and in their chamber groups.

The Cincinnati String Project is a tuition-free program based at Norwood and Winton Woods High Schools. We are grateful for the continued support from partners, including Artswave, the Louise Dieterle Nippert Musical Arts Fund, Matinee Musicale, PNC Charitable Trusts, 5/3 Bank, U.S. Bank, and more than 150 individual donors.

The generous support of these partners and people like you has allowed us to continue our program for nearly a decade, serving hundreds of students and performing across Cincinnati.
