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 added a new series, at New City Church in Norwood.

The group’s education program, our central activity, is now in its ninth year, providing 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.

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.

Having operated for our first 9 years with fiscal sponsorship as 4-Way Quartet, in 2024 we decided to rename the organization to better reflect our dual mission of performing and teaching chamber music. To that end, we incorporated and received 501(c)(3) designation as The Cincinnati String Project.

The Cincinnati String Project enjoys widespread, stable financial support, having received funding from Artswave, the Louise Dieterle Nippert Musical Arts Fund, Matinee Musicale, PNC Charitable Trusts, 5/3 Bank, U.S. Bank, and more than 150 individual donors.

Synopsis of the show: Mary, always late and always married, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse.

Late, a Cowboy Song, is the story of one woman's education and her search to find true love outside the box.

All initial auditions will be held via self tape submission. There may be in person or live zoom callbacks, if needed.

What to Prepare: Please create a self tape featuring 1 contemporary monologue.

Please select material that speaks to you as an artist and also aligns with the character you are wishing to be considered for.

much inspired from the movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
