"Music can be all things to all men (People). It is like a great dynamic sun in the center of a solar system which sends out its rays and inspiration in every direction. … It is as if the heavens open and a divine voice calls. Something in our souls responds and understands."

Leopold Stokowski

Who we are

We are a dedicated ensemble of passionate string musicians from grades 9 to 12. Our mission is to cultivate a deep appreciation for music in a safe and open environment where all students feel valued, with every note reflecting our commitment to excellence and inspiring a love for music that resonates long after graduation.

We perform both in and out of school, touring places like San Francisco, San Diego, and Ireland, and gracing venues such as the LA County Fair, Disney, and Knott's Berry Farm. Our repertoire spans classical masterpieces and contemporary genres, embracing diverse composers and styles.

Join us on our musical journey and experience the joy of making music. We invite you to our performances to witness the passion, talent, and dedication of our students firsthand.
