who we are
wholesoul is a string quartet with attitude.
We are four classically-trained musicians who draw great inspiration from artists of Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, and Jazz genres. Our mission: to fundamentally reshape the way string quartets make music.
In the world of string playing, rhythmic genres like Hip-Hop, R&B, and Soul music have historically been neglected and underutilized by performers and composers. By employing advanced extended techniques to produce sounds and textures that are prevalent in these genres, wholesoul aims to codify a new sound and language for the traditional string quartet.

PERFORMING🎻
Live Performances
There's nothing like a wholesoul experience. Our shows are equal parts storytelling from the stage, joking with the audience, and passionate music making.
We mix and match a wide array of musicians/composers. In any given concert, you could hear Mozart and Prokofiev alongside Kanye West and Alicia Keys. Every show is a new discovery of what is musically possible.
