Our mission is to build vibrant communities in Cincinnati through chamber music, empowering young people, their families, and professional musicians, through performance, education and mentoring.  The group’s activities balance accessible, innovative performances in community settings with teaching underserved urban youth.

Since its founding in 2015 as 4-Way Quartet, The Cincinnati String Project has established itself as a high-level performing ensemble, presenting innovative programs to sold-out audiences at the Aronoff Center, the Mercantile Library, and The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center. The group also performs house concerts – returning chamber music to its natural habitat – and in 2022, began its own series in Pleasant Ridge. In the 2024-25 season, we add a new series, at New City Church in Norwood.

The group’s members are equally accomplished as educators. The Cincinnati String Project, our central activity, now entering its ninth year, provides free private lessons and chamber music instruction to more than 50 middle and high school students each week, at Title I schools in Norwood and Winton Woods.
