The String Queens are three powerful composer-performers who employ violins, cellos and violas to create emotive music. The versatile ensemble blends classical, contemporary and experimental textures that focus on empowering women and breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field. The trio’s original music explores complex emotions and narratives, pushing the boundaries of string music while maintaining the form’s rich heritage. The pioneering trio has released three albums, with 2022’s Rise as the group’s latest full-length. A thrilling 2023 single, “Til Victory is Won,” exemplifies a collaboration of musical capacity and nuance.
