Overview
Hey there! I'm Henry Sergienko, the mandolin player and main point of contact for The Internationals.
We're a diverse and talented musical team based in Chicago, offering a wide range of instruments including piano, violin, harp, saxophone, accordion, and bagpipes. With a blend of classical, jazz, blues, and traditional music from around the world, we've been bringing our unique sound to weddings, corporate events, festivals, and fundraisers for the past 20 years.
Our lead violinist, Michael, brings a wealth of experience to the group whether as a soloist or ensemble player.
In addition to musical repertoire, our dancers are ready to bring traditional and modern moves to the dance floor.

September 6, 2026Beautiful
Our violinist did an excellent job providing a perfect blend of romantic music for the background of our wedding and Oceans by Hillsong United for my wife’s walk down song.

July 20, 2026Michael was Great!
Michael arrived early for my daughter's party. He set up quickly and was an instant hit. He really connected with the crowd, and they connected with him. My daughter was blown away as he played her favorite song. She absolutely loved him.
Thank you so much, Michael!

July 15, 2026Made a perfect day even better.
Michael is a very talented violinist. He played before and during my granddaughters outdoor wedding. And then during cocktails after. It was the perfect touch for an enchanting day.

July 13, 2026Amazing Music - Perfect Addition to the Party!
Our French accordion player, Mike, was absolutely wonderful! We hired him for a Parisian-themed baby shower and he was the perfect addition to create beautiful ambiance and live entertainment for our guests. The Internationals were affordable, highly communicative, and so easy to work with. Everybody loved the music. I highly recommend The Internationals and would hire one of their performers again for an event. Thank you so much for making the baby shower extra special
