Strings is a house concert. Members, the all-volunteer staff and the larger Strings’ community have made these concerts possible for all these years. The mission of Strings is to provide a space that brings together outstanding musicians/artists and an appreciative audience. We believe that the pleasant environment and attentive audience directly influences the quality of the performance. It is to this philosophy that Strings is dedicated.
How this place came to be
In 1993 Strings was a derelict laundromat in a very questionable neighborhood. Within weeks of moving in Joey and his friends built the stage, surrounded it with a few folding chairs and started playing music. Over the years people have been generous with their time, talents and resources and helped transform Strings into the comfortable and relaxing place it is today. Everything at Strings is loaned, built, scrounged, recycled or donated. Strings is a reflection of all the people who helped create it.
