The Gypsy Strings is an extremely talented four-piece ensemble formed to bring to students the music of Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the American continents. Students will see and hear a variety of instruments such as the viola, violin, accordion, acoustic bass and Middle Eastern drum. Gypsy Strings programs can be tailored to a school's curriculum needs.

The Gypsy Strings are especially adept at providing music for special ethnic and international celebrations as well as classical and opera pops concerts. Schools may choose from themes that enhance the curriculum in French, Russian, Middle Eastern, South American and Italian studies.
