The original concept is to make the acoustics of violins and cello so powerful that they can play with an electric drum and bass in a new style.

“2Birds Band are not only funky and sexy- they are rooted in serious musical study and capable of referring at any moment to their roots in Bach, Debussy, Beethoven et al. Their passion for creating new music with sophistication that also grooves speaks to a natural appeal for young string players as well as a bridge to connect traditional music education with the new sounds and skills of the future”  Christian Howes – American violin legend, composer and educator
