Chicago Alternative Rock String Quartet Plays Tonight Tonight – The Smashing Pumpkins

So, the Artistrings Chicago string quartet has been busy recording a series of quarantine videos. It was a super challenging and very fun project to record these string quartet covers of rock and alternative tunes. We can’t wait for the day when it’s super safe to play together up close and in person again. For now, this will have to do. Here’s our tribute to The Smashing Pumpkins. Go Chicago!

Chicago Micro Wedding Solo Cello Music

With Autumn Leaves bringing us into April, we’ve got some beautiful solo cello music for local Chicago micro weddings. For couples who have to postpone their large scale celebration but still want to get married now, a micro wedding is the perfect solution to an unprecedented pandemic situation. One musician creates the atmosphere for an elegant and intimate celebration. Matthew is back with a beautiful standard. Be safe, be well!

A pandemic. COVID-19 is making its way around the globe and we’re sheltered in place here in Chicago. We’ve been planning with Christy & John for almost two years, and they made the extremely difficult choice to postpone their wedding to 2021. Check out this super sweet micro-wedding ceremony at their home. We cannot wait to celebrate in big numbers with you two next year!

Working together to flatten that curve, Artistrings cellist Matthew Agnew is using this quarantine time to record some solo videos. Folks, this is perfect music for the micro weddings that will be happening soon. We’re hoping to bring a little joy into everyone’s day with this favorite Beatles tune!
