We are four classically-trained musicians who draw great inspiration from artists of Soul, Jazz, R&B, and Hip-Hop genres. Our mission: to fundamentally reshape the way string quartets make music.

In the world of string playing, rhythmic genres like Hip-Hop, Soul, and R&B music have historically been neglected and underutilized by performers and composers. By employing advanced extended techniques to produce sounds and textures that are prevalent in these genres, wholesoul aims to codify a new sound and language for the traditional string quartet.

There's nothing like a wholesoul experience. Our shows are equal parts storytelling from the stage, joking with the audience, and passionate music making.

We mix and match a wide array of musicians/composers. In any given concert, you could hear Mozart and Prokofiev alongside Kanye West and Alicia Keys. Every show is a new discovery of what is musically possible.

In addition to handcrafting our own arrangements, we work with the best composers in the music industry, delivering all of your favorite songs reimagined for the string quartet.
