Mint String Quartet was founded at the very beginning of 2021 within the halls of The UNCG School of Music. MSQ’s story began when we first became close friends within the program- and then realized we could put our skills to good use together to form what we now call Mint String Quartet.
At the time, the school of music was eerily quiet during the height of the Covid-19 times, so we basically only had each other to really play with. Then, as life began amping up again, we quickly realized that we had something of value to offer to the community, so we started branding MSQ.
Now, we’re coming to a really nice balance of business, outreach, and community building. MSQ is built not only to bring life to events but for creating connections within the community through the means of musical outreach and accessibility efforts.
As ‘classical musicians’ in the 21st century, we recognize that we must forge our own path and take initiative to innovate the field we’re in. We love interacting both within and outside the music community, we’ve not only gotten opportunities to work with other artists such as the Sphinx Virtuosi, The Lark Ensemble, and ASTA artists, but we also put an emphasis on school and free concert outreach. At the end of the day, we truly believe that the friendship and trust we have works as an advantage to our sound.
