April 6, 2026Mystique was everything we could possibily have wished for! We treated my mother (also a Lawrence grad) to a 99th brthday luncheon with Mystique performing solo Cello. It was magnificent, and she is an outstanding virtuoso cellist, soon I am sure, to become part of a major symphony orchestra. She performed the Bach Cello Suites to perfection and grace. I am hopingto have anither event, perhas Mom's 100th, and have he back again! Bravissima molto dulce!

October 15, 2024My wife and I contacted Serenading Strings to perform for our wedding. It was a rather intimate event with very limited guests. I can say proudly that she made our day so very special! Not only did she curate a set list specifically for us, her musical ability was incredible. Thank you Serenading Strings!

With a professional demeanor and attention to detail, I'll help elevate and reinforce your mission into something truly memorable for your guests.
