String Fever is a distinctive string ensemble blending jazz, classical crossover, and easy listening. Founded in 1981 by conductor Marin Alsop as a 10-piece group, the ensemble has carved out a niche performing stylish arrangements of jazz standards and popular classical repertoire with a modern, accessible edge. While String Fever does not maintain a continuous public social media feed, the project remains influential through Alsop's ongoing conducting work and through official pages and major music platforms.
