MEMBERS
Emily Cornett (President)
Emily is from Baltimore, MD. She is a fan of Indian food, dolphins, and Canada. In her spare time, she listens to Drake and cries or Skypes with her cats.
Henry Shapard (Music Director)
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!
Megan Lim (Business Manager / Supreme Overlord)
Megan has broken 37 endpins. Apart from attempting to play the cello, she enjoys broccoli and arson on rainy days. She is an alien without a visa and may be deported at any moment (there are places outside America, but do not mention this to anyone).
Chloe Zhou (Tour Manager)
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.
Sofia Checa (Publicity/Social Media Chair)
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.
Dimitri Lippe
Dmitri is from Buffalo, NY. He is also known for being really good at playing viola.
Han-ah Sumner
Apart from playing the cello, Han-ah has a passion for knitting, avocados smoothies, and venn diagrams. She is the proud owner of a miniature black poodle named Licorice who she unfortunately could not bring with her to New Haven. Her all-time favorite movie is Clueless.
Max Lauring
In addition to talking to strangers, hiking, and playing soccer, Max enjoys cello, chess, and crosswords. Many a great man has admired Max for his eclectic yet simple fashion sense, one that consists of quirky shirts from Taiwan riddled with random English phrases and glow-in-the-dark boxers from American Eagle.
Nicolas Vivas Nikonorow
Although the two might not be related, the last time Nicolas played his cello, Friedrich, a small child in Belgium smiled. Aside from playing music, Nicolas enjoys reading, writing and jam.
Benji Fleischacker
Benji is descended from domestic individuals but now lives in the wild. He likes cappuccino milk shakes, cupcakes, the oxford comma, and meeting strangers. He dresses up for special occasions, especially froyo. He is often mistaken for his spirit animal.
