String Night Event: October Edition Recap

Every third Saturday of the month, we celebrate incredible composers with our String Night event in Franklin Hills. This intimate showcase brings composers, musicians, and audiences together for a beautiful evening of music, homemade food, and fun.

For this month’s edition, we had the pleasure of featuring Mark Smythe, Madison Anglin, Marco Chiavetta, Heather McIntosh, and our hosts Carisa Bianca Mellado and Andrew Dalziell. Each composer performed an outstanding piece, you can watch the live stream from that night [here].

We would like to thank the talented players who made this event possible: Kaitlin Wolfberg (Violin I), Morgan Lee Gerstmar (Violin II), Laura Jesson (Viola), Winnie Liu (Cello), Tony Green (Contrabass), Gabriella Hirsch (Piano), and Marco Apicella (Piano).
