Violinist, singer, composer Sarah Alden leads The Letter’s String Quintet. This project is a collection of new orchestrations based on Alden’s last album Up To The Sky which garnered favorable comparisons to Andrew Bird and Bjork, accolades that acknowledge its subtle sophistication and richly textured soundscapes of strings and poetic songwriting. New compositions feature letter’s that Sarah’s grandmother saved between women in the 1930’s. Stories told through letters, poems told through letters and notes of letters inspire this project of incredible musicians. Sarah Alden -Vocals, Lily Holgate- Violin, Rima Fand - Violin, Marandi Hostetter - Viola, Leah Coloff - Cello, Chris Tordini- Bass
Special guests Ledah Finck and Eli Greenhoe. This duo met at summer camp a decade ago, where they formed a bond over their love of folk music and composing. Now reunited in NYC, the two are working together to create the music they’ve been dreaming of for a long time that glides between Americana, fiddle, experimentation, and improvisation.
