Join us for a great program featuring three inventive composers. We begin with Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 77, No. 2, and move to a work it inspired, Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte. The program closes with Amy Beach's String Quartet in One Movement, a late-romantic, folk-inspired work. The concert is followed by a catered reception, and all proceeds go to our free education program!

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

Each week, our 65 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 over a decade, serving hundreds of students and performing across Cincinnati.
