The G-Strings have cast aside the boundaries set by classical music. Since its foundation in 1993 the quintet has systematically played against the grain of established ways of listening. The group's innovative crossings between E and U-music have been enthusiastically celebrated in concert halls and in the press, by classical and jazz audiences.
