About Strings of the Season
Strings of the Season is a string quartet ensemble featuring local players from Sarasota and Tampa. The members of this group are regular performers in the major orchestras of the region, familiar faces to our local arts scene and patrons. Working together frequently for such events as fundraisers, weddings, and corporate parties, our musicians are both friends and colleagues, adept at sharing the joy of music with each other and our audiences.

From Billy Joel to Alicia Keys, from Ray Charles to Freddie Mercury, Three Pianos celebrates the piano legends who refused to play by the rules. These aren’t your cookie-cutter rock stars: they’re the rebels, romantics, and risk-takers who turned 88 keys into pure magic. Enjoy timeless favorites like “Crocodile Rock,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I’m Still Standing,” and “Beautiful.” From the soulful sway of Fats Domino to the anthemic joy of Elton John, this high-energy musical revue proves that when you follow your own tune, the music never stops.
