Founded in New York City by musicians of many professions, the Highline Chamber Ensemble revamps the perception of stuffy concertizing by emphasizing the audience experience. Highline is a conductorless string ensemble comprised of classically-trained musicians; the group performs in spaces across New York City that include lofts, studios, and bars.

Highline’s ticketed events showcase classical music as well as original arrangements of popular non-classical songs.  The end result of Highline’s efforts is a convivial atmosphere for music lovers of all genres to mingle, drink, and –  most importantly – enjoy the music!

With a moniker inspired by Chelsea’s High Line Park in NYC, the Highline Chamber Ensemble aims to represent the merging of cultural preservation with contemporary society.
