A story in every song

 

About Us

At its core, Ibis Music Group is based around the idea that exceptional music should be accessible, relatable, and extraordinary. You don’t need a tuxedo to enjoy Mendelssohn, nor do you need to search far and wide for musicians who are both reliable and extraordinary. Everything we do, we do with the belief that musical experiences can change lives, and we are privileged to be a part of those experiences.

 
 

 

Our Values

 
We Believe
 

Be Relatable — Music is a way to connect with one another. Every piece was written for a reason and every player has a story. With every performance, we draw on our personal relationship to music to create a uniquely intimate musical touch to celebrations and life events.

Be Accessible — Our music is for everyone, period. That's why we create an accessible, unpretentious, and non-judgmental avenue into the world of music, whether we are playing Bach or Bruno Mars.

 

Be Extraordinary — Our players have advanced performance degrees from notable conservatories and music schools across the country, and have played with some of the best conductors and ensembles in the world. We each have a deep, personal connection to the music we play, and bring our passion to every single performance.
