At Boho Strings we tell stories with music. Stories about important current events. Stories that will carry you to new places. Stories that can make the world a more inclusive and compassionate place in which to live. Will you join us for one of our stories?
PROJECTS
We listen, we reflect and we create new stories. Come discover our world where we rethink what’s possible in a “classical” music program. Click on an image to view, listen, and read more about each project.
what’s new
Knowing this is not an easy moment for anyone right now, we just wanted to send out some love!
Our sector of the arts is desperately struggling, along with many other sectors. It is an extremely difficult moment for all of us, and we just want you to know that you are not alone.
Be brave, be strong, but it is also ok to fall apart. Be what you need to be to get through this time.
There is no guide book for your emotions and feelings.
Be who and what you need to be and know that we will get through this!
You are strong, even when you feel weak.
Hold each other up, don’t push each other down. Be supportive of one another and know that you are being supported by others.
You are not alone, we are all in this together!

FINZI CLARINET CONCERTO.
It is by far my favourite clarinet concerto.
I will never forget the intense private masterclasses of dame Thea King, doyenne of British clarinetists and spouse of Frederick Thurston, who premiered the concerto in 1949. 🙏
Mrs. King sent me something very precious; the correspondence between Finzi & Thuston: the letters document the first ideas for the concerto, its genesis, and its growing post-première fame. I played it for the first time under the baton of Finzi's son Christopher in 1998. I recorded it with a major British orchestra. And I am soo proud to play it again soon with conductor David Ramael and his fabulous boho strings. Stay posted for more information.
Tickets still available, but moving fast!
A great board meeting last night!
The light bulb is glowing bright towards a positive and successful future!!
