This one-hour educational performance will demonstrate to young people how diverse string music can be, and how one can be a classically-trained musician while staying true to other cultures, traditions, and styles.

The String Queens (TSQ) is a dynamic trio of school teachers by day and concert performers by night. With a wide-ranging repertoire that bounces effortlessly from classical to pop to jazz, TSQ’s versatile programs take listeners on a thrilling musical journey.

TSQ’s innovative work in the field of music education has been widely acknowledged by Carnegie Hall, DC Jazz Festival, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and a partnership with the Save the Music Foundation. Through Save the Music, the trio presented a series of professional development workshops for performing arts educators on “Social Emotional Learning in the Arts Classroom” and “Trauma-Informed Arts Classrooms” as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year, TSQ released its third album, Rise, which includes unique arrangements of timeless classics by Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and more.

Support for The String Queens residency generously provided by Mockingbird Foundation and Red River Charitable Foundation.

The Youth Education Series is made possible in part by the Couch Family Foundation and the Hypertherm HOPE Foundation.
