Founded in 2008 by violinist Byung-Kook Kwak, the New York-based Solisti Ensemble consists of eleven active string soloists and chamber musicians dedicated to reviving the traditions of small-ensemble chamber music. The ensemble is exceptional for its unique size and the individual virtuosity of each member. Solisti Ensemble performs not only classical chamber music, but also arrangements of pop, tango, and jazz.

Since its inception, the ensemble has given concerts around the Metropolitan Area, including appearances at Alice Tully Hall and Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall. In January 2013, the ensemble made its debut at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium. In hopes of making a meaningful musical contribution to its community, both local and global, Solisti Ensemble envisions the enthusiastic revival of classical music in a way that is both culturally relevant and nostalgically reminiscent of an oft-forgotten period of the art. Solisti Ensemble promises to bring a most fulfilling and fascinating musical experience to audiences everywhere.
