Music City Strings is one of the top educational string-performance ensembles in the country!  This group brings with it incredible talent, energetic movement, and fun attitudes, coupled with a fresh take on classical, fiddle, country, and a wide range of other musical genres.  Music City Strings keeps busy with a regular schedule of rehearsals, performances, and touring.

In 2005, Dana Meyer established a violin studio in Franklin, Tennessee. Her dream was to create a program that would provide children the means to become confident, sensitive and beautiful artists.  Music City Strings is an outgrowth of this program and has enjoyed many successes at the local, national, and international level.
