Catena String Quartet
The Catena String Quartet formed in 2022 and is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. All dedicated musicians from an early age, they hold a particular love for chamber music. As it goes in the classical music world, they discovered many unknown connections between them. Because of all these connections they chose the name “Catena”, a Latin word meaning "a connected series or chain”.
Early inspirations for them have been “Woodworks” and “Last Leaf”, which are collections of folk tunes arranged for string quartet by the Danish String Quartet. They are proud to have performed selections of these works for the Danish American Institute in Minneapolis, and at a function for the Queen of Norway at the Four Seasons Hotel in Minneapolis.

The Ninebark Ensemble
Ninebark Ensemble brings together musicians with decades of experience playing orchestral, solo, and chamber music at the highest level. We have each taught students from beginners to at the collegiate level and bring our authentic selves to our educational engagements.
Ninebark Ensemble seeks to share genuine and thoughtful performances and educational outreach with our audiences. We approach classic masterpieces and emerging works with intentionality and enthusiasm. Chamber music can describe ideas and a myriad of emotions that fall outside of language and we hope to offer those experiences to our listeners each time we perform.
