Spreading the joy of chamber music
Named after one of the first female composers in recorded history, the Hildegard String Quartet met in 2018 while performing in Me2/ Orchestra Burlington. United by a mission to share live music for mental health, we are a diverse ensemble focused on bringing happiness to any occasion. We enjoy playing a wide range of string repertoire from classical to romantic to contemporary. Let us know what we can perform for your event!
