About Strings of the Season

Strings of the Season is a string quartet ensemble featuring local players from Sarasota and Tampa. The members of this group are regular performers in the major orchestras of the region, familiar faces to our local arts scene and patrons. Working together frequently for such events as fundraisers, weddings, and corporate parties, our musicians are both friends and colleagues, adept at sharing the joy of music with each other and our audiences.
