Cincinnati String Project in your home.
Chamber music is meant for small, intimate spaces, and many great pieces for string quartet were first heard in private homes. We love returning these pieces to their natural habitat by performing house concert fundraisers!
Our mission is to teach our collaborative way of working to our students. By hosting a house concert, you’ll experience it up close while helping us share it with more students!
