About

Midnight on the Water started as an idea. The three of us have collectively played well over one thousand performances with classical, jazz, trad, and pop ensembles, and in those engagements we've met a lot of crossover artists: classical musicians who play arrangements of pop songs, or trad musicians who dabble in jazz. We never really met other string players who are equally at home across all those musical contexts - until we met one another! What would happen, we thought, if the three of us got together to play ALL the music in a single ensemble? The result is a more unique, spontaneous, and mature sound where we create and perform our arrangements and original tunes. Our familiarity, security, and depth enable us to more freely improvise with each other, with our musical material, and with our audiences at any given performance.
