The American String Project is a distinguished conductorless string ensemble based in Seattle. Founded by maestro Barry Lieberman and renowned violist Maria Larionoff, the group performs as a chamber-orchestra with rotating concertmasters. They specialize in arranging string-quartet literature for a larger string ensemble, delivering balanced interpretations that highlight both ensemble cohesion and expressive solo passages. With a history rooted in Seattle’s rich classical music scene, the project has earned critical acclaim for its refined sound and thoughtful programming.
