MEMBERS
Dayle Chung (President)
Dayle is from New York, NY. She loves thunderstorms, Earl Grey tea, and sunrises (that is, if she can stay awake late enough to watch them). She can often be found at her favorite local 24-hour diner eating a cheeseburger.
Johnny Xu (Business Manager)
When folks gave up on trying to pronounce Johnny’s last name, they went by calling him Johnny X instead. It flows better, they said. Johnny enjoys dad jokes and Chinese food but is only good at making the former. With that said, how would a dog eat a coding assignment? By taking a few bytes.
Giacomo Glotzer (Tour Manager)
Giacomo peaked at the age of five when he was fluent in three languages. Now he’s trying to improve his English before relearning the other two. Giacomo loves to bike, but cannot go very fast because “his ears provide too much wind resistance.” He claims to be from Chicago, IL even though he despises deep dish pizza. Giacomo can also eat a chipotle burrito in under 3 minutes.
For tour inquiries, contact Giacomo.
Matt Udry (Music Director)
Matt is from Kenosha, WI. When picking instruments in 4th grade, he
chose cello only because someone told him cellos get to sit while
everyone else has to play standing. Matt enjoys tea, naps, and
collecting high-end writing instruments (despite having poor
handwriting). His proudest achievement is typing the alphabet in under
1.6 seconds.
Allison Park (Publicity and Social Media Chair)
Allison is a "Washington D.C. area native" (read: she's from Northern Virginia). In addition to reading fictional new releases and binge-listening to podcasts, Allison enjoys eating sushi, mentioning her dog at any and every opportunity, and reorganizing her Spotify playlists.
Jerry Zhou
This is Jerry. Sometimes, though, his closest friends like to call him Jerry because that's his name. He's from Knoxville, TN, and his hobbies include photobombing, hiding from Homo sapiens, and sleeping at 3 ante meridiem.
Chloe Zhou
When Chloe walks into a room full of people, the average height decreases by five inches. In addition to being the shortest member of Low Strung, Chloe is known for kicking innocent doors and storing bodies in her cello case. Her favorite taste is tofu.
Henry Shapard
Henry is from Cleveland Heights, OH. He speaks French and Spanish and loves British comedy television shows. He enjoys lonely walks, milk, and ferocious dabbing. Henry has a twin sister who he looks up to in everything except being born- he got out first!
Sofia Checa
When an 8-year-old Sofia was presented with the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, she chose cello via process of elimination-- the other choices were violin, viola and bass... it turned out to be quite a good choice! Sofia's goal in life is to be Princess Leia.
Harry Doernberg
Born at a very young age, Harry knew that he was destined to play the silkiest instrument known to man. Unfortunately, there were no bagpipes available, so he chose the cello. Besides dressing in the dark, Harry enjoys eating, sleeping, and wrestling. He also enjoys working with ceramics.
Emily Cornett
Emily is from Baltimore, MD. She is a fan of Indian food, dolphins, and Canada. In her spare time, she listens to Britney Spears and Skypes with her cats.
Megan Lim
Megan has killed 37 people with 36 endpins. Apart from attempting to play the cello, she enjoys broccoli and arson on rainy days. Megan seeks to rid the world of all bread because she finds it repulsive.
