SMC String Quintet
The SMC String Quintet, founded by Brent Edmondson, is a dynamic and versatile string ensemble based in Philadelphia.
Our mission is to bring the rich traditions of classical music to new and diverse audiences by collaborating with bands, artists, studios, media, composers, and other creatives both locally and beyond.
​
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.
