The venue, Ardmore Music Hall, is known for its intimate ambiance, impeccable acoustics, and ability to make any performance feel both personal and electrifying. It’s the perfect setting for The String Queens, a genre-blending trio of classically trained musicians who have been redefining what a string ensemble can sound like. Whether interpreting Baroque compositions, reimagining jazz classics, or transforming contemporary hits, The String Queens create an experience that feels equal parts concert and conversation with the soul.
The String Queens: A Journey of Sound, Spirit, and Social Impact
Comprised of Kendall Isadore (violin), Élise Sharp (cello), and Dawn Johnson (viola), The String Queens are musicians, storytellers, educators, and cultural ambassadors. Based in Washington, D.C., this powerhouse trio has captivated audiences at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and other esteemed venues, all while maintaining careers as dedicated music educators.
The String Queens are celebrated for their soul-stirring performances and also for their devotion to equity in education and emotional healing through music. Their work in schools and national workshops on Social Emotional Learning and Trauma-Informed Arts Education reflects a genuine commitment to using music as a tool for healing, empathy, and transformation.
The String Queens: From RISE to Ardmore—A Moment Not to Miss
With three albums already released—including their newest and most emotionally resonant project, “RISE”—The String Queens have solidified their status as sonic architects of resilience. Funded by a prestigious MPower Artist Grant from the Sphinx Organization, RISE explores themes of despair, hope, and triumph through the works of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Richard Smallwood, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson. From gospel and soul to classical and pop, the album is a masterclass in versatility and emotional power.
Their earlier EPs, including their 2019 self-titled debut and 2020’s holiday release “Our Favorite Things”, showcase their gift for breathing fresh life into timeless classics. With a fourth album due in Spring 2026, their appearance at Ardmore Music Hall is a concert and a preview of what’s next from one of today’s most important and inspired musical agents.
The String Queens offer a performance that will stay with you long after the final bow. Authentic, soulful, and orchestral—these ladies represent everything great music should be. On December 14, they’ll bring all of it to Ardmore.
