United Strings of Europe

**United Strings of Europe** is a dynamic London-based string ensemble founded in 2014, known for blending classical masterpieces with bold new arrangements and genre-crossing collaborations. This conductor-less group thrives on versatility, tackling everything from Baroque gems like Purcell’s *Dido’s Lament* to modern works like Osvaldo Golijov’s *Last Round*, all while championing contemporary composers and innovative projects. Their eclectic discography—featuring everything from Tchaikovsky’s lush *Serenade for Strings* to reimagined Icelandic folk tunes—showcases their knack for weaving tradition with fresh perspectives.

Beyond the concert hall, United Strings of Europe leans into community-driven initiatives, like their heartwarming *Through the Night* lullaby project, which paired their strings with voices from schools and care homes. Whether breathing new life into Gesualdo’s haunting harmonies or teaming up with living artists, these musicians are all about connection—bridging centuries, styles, and audiences with every bow stroke.
