Join the Baldaquin Ensemble and meet four members of the String Family: two violins, a cello and a viola. With the timeless sounds of Bach, Fauré, Mozart, and more, they will share melodies, swap roles, and, yes, sometimes even clash!

🎵 Can music have a conversation - like siblings chatting (or arguing) at the dinner table?

🎵 How does sound travel from high to low?

🎵 What happens when the strings are plucked instead of bowed?
