We are Fusion String Ensemble!

Fusion String Ensemble was founded in 2007 by a group of musician friends interested in performing classical music alongside an array of different genres of music. Since then, we have shared works of Bach, Beethoven, Holst, Mozart, Shostakovich, Huey Lewis and the News, Billy Joel, Radiohead, Snarky Puppy, Dropkick Murphys and themes from "Game of Thrones" and "Downton Abbey".

We have performed in Symphony Hall Boston, Montreal, Washington D.C., Chicago and New York City. Fusion String Ensemble played the National Anthem at LaLacheur Park, home of the Boston Red Sox Short Season Single A Affiliate, the Lowell Spinners.

BACH, BARBER & BAGATELLES - Digital Concert Program




As an effort to be environmentally friendly, Fusion String Ensemble is releasing our concert program online before our performance. Feel free to download the images onto your smartphone, iPad or tablet. We will also remind you that you can access this through your data plan when you arrive at the concert.

We may be the first classical music group to encourage our audience use their electronic devices during the concert but ask them to be silenced or muted.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, August 18th!
