The SMC String Quintet, founded by Brent Edmondson, is a dynamic and versatile string ensemble based in Philadelphia.

​

We are as comfortable playing to a room of seniors as we are on a rock stage, but there's no place we'd rather be than a recording studio!

Philadelphia is full of amazing string players who you'd welcome on a record AND it's got a lot of interesting classical groups BUT we believe we're the first and only group in the city that works together constantly and feels comfortable collaborating across any genre you can throw at us. We especially love working with artists.

​​

Comprised of classically trained musicians, the SMC String Quintet is dedicated to expanding the boundaries of their art. We strive to infuse our high level of virtuosity into various genres, creating performances that resonate deeply with listeners. Whether in the recording studio, on stage, or in collaborative projects, our goal is to deliver powerful and emotive musical experiences.

​​

At SMC, we believe that music has the power to connect and inspire. By blending classical expertise with contemporary sounds, we aim to make music that speaks to the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life.
