WHAT WE DO

An AdHoc concert is a relaxed, intimate gathering that brings people together to share food, drink, conversation, and music. The floor is our stage, with little space between performer and audience.

WHO WE ARE

AdHoc is a vibrant, growing ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists based in New York City. We're inspired primarily by early music, but we also believe that tradition can be played with. We perform about half of our pieces off the score, as the composer intended. The rest is experimental--our "ad hoc" repertoire. Always looking for fresh ways to fuse new and old, we might explore how an oratorio would sound when reduced to a solo voice and guitar, or how an Italian aria could be reworked in a jazz setting. The composition of our ensemble is just as dynamic as our sound. While our foundation is a core group of dedicated residents, we're constantly seeking other NYC musicians to collaborate with us as guests on individual projects. The result: a mashup of genres, sounds, and influences as fluid and eclectic as the city where we live and perform.

The NYC String Quartet is a versatile and cutting edge group that provides a unique experience to their audiences. This elegant group of professional female musicians performs a variety of music genres to capture the ideal ambiance for your event. Columbia String Quartet incorporates traditional classical and popular music with an innovative approach to engage their audiences. Founding members include Katy Ho (violin), Lindsey Castellano (violin), Aline Vartanian (viola), and Eva Dines (cello).
