Philly Street Strings
Philly Street Strings came about through the inspiration of Swana and Stanley Chepaitis. After 30 plus years of working as musicians in Indiana, PA and the surrounding regions, they felt strongly that the Indiana Community needed and wanted its own orchestra. This has proven to be true as large audiences have attended the initial concerts, responding with enthusiastic standing ovations.
Made up of 14 local and regional professional musicians, Philly Street Strings performs together without a conductor. In our home base, the beautiful downtown Indiana Theater, we present an eclectic mix of musical experiences, ranging from the masterworks of Bach and Handel, to original contemporary works, to improvisatory jazz. Our concerts are more intimate than a full symphonic orchestra, and also more powerful and dynamic than a smaller group. Interaction and communication with each other and with the audience are our main points of focus. Please consider supporting us by joining the audience at our next performance
Our Upcoming Concerts
Our performances are designed to bring audiences closer to the music, with no conductor standing in the way of the musicians’ direct connection to one another and to you. Expect intimate yet powerful concerts that celebrate both tradition and innovation.
