ABOUT
"the only Standing Room Only Music at the Med we have had and definitely the only double standing ovation ever!!! ...a VERY HARD ACT TO FOLLOW!" -- Becky Mancuso-Winding, Music Supervisor of Footloose and Robots
"This radio-ready repertoire is a world away from that of other musical ensembles at Yale." -- Yale Daily News
Low Strung is a group of classically trained cellists from Yale University who make up the largest all-cello all-rock band in the world. The group transforms classics of the rock, pop, metal, and blues genres into pieces designed exclusively for the cello. The final product is something that cannot be found anywhere else: music that bursts with the excitement of rock but is executed with the thundering bass and butter-smooth treble of the cello. Their constantly-expanding repertoire spans the gamut from the 1960's to today, from The Who and Led Zeppelin to Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. The sweeping arrangements are also opportunities for unlikely musical encounters such as J.S. Bach meets Amy Winehouse and Beethoven meets The Eagles.
We have performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and at Las Vegas's Aria Resort and Casino for audiences of more than 1,500 people. In December 2016, we were featured in the grand opening of the MGM National Harbor Resort and Casino alongside the Blue Man Group and Jabbawockeez. Low Strung has toured nationally and internationally. In our recent tours of Washington DC and Los Angeles we sold out venues including the Whiskey a Go Go and Vitello's Upstairs in LA, and Jammin' Java and Ebenezer's Coffeehouse in DC. Our other tours have included Singapore, Costa Rica, Chicago, Boston, and New York. While in Los Angeles we heard straight from Glenn Frey of the Eagles how much the band loved our arrangement of Hotel California. Low Strung performs around the Northeast at schools, weddings, club, country clubs, galas, and private events. If you are interested in setting up an event with us, please contact our business manager, Megan Lim.
