ESME (Eclectic String Music Ensemble) is a classically trained fusion string group based in Grand Rapids, MI with a roster that includes musicians from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, The New York Philharmonic and the Grand Rapids Symphony. The group collaborates regularly with the Grand Rapids Ballet Company and arranges and performs in nearly every type of venue from bars to concert halls with a repertoire list including Classical, Folk, Americana, Jazz, Pop, Spiritual, Rock, and Bluegrass arrangements.
As passionate innovators of music educational programs, ESME combines world class artistic performance and pedagogy with a holistic teaching approach and accessibility specificallygeared towards younger generations of music students. Their programs offer creative and mind-broadening applications that extricate students from preconceptions of limitations in classical music making.
In the past few years since formed ESME has created numerous clinics for middle and high school orchestras in Grand Rapids and surrounding schools where we arranged and performed music for the students that combined different styles of popular, jazz, bluegrass, film and rock music with classical instruments, repertoire and training. We have also collaborated with world renowned youth training organizations such as The Philadelphia Orchestra educational dpt. and Project 440 and created string seminars that taught student chamber groups in West Michigan how to create and present their own community engagement performances. As part of the seminar our student chamber groups went out into various local business venues in Easttown Grand Rapids performing a variety of different styles of chamber music for their community. We created a yearly summer chamber music camp for students that brought world class artists from the New York Philharmonic and Detroit Symphony Orchestra to coach and perform with students of West Michigan. We have collaborated with the Grand Rapids Ballet in creating both live music and dance collaborative performances in recent years as well as virtual performance projects created for healthcare workers during the COVID pandemic. For the Ballet's 2020-2021 season opener we created several original pieces together virtually for audiences of the GRBallet to experience our art during COVID. We also created and presented to the GR community our own original independent live music and dance project called "Swan Song" with original choreography and dancing by dancers of the Grand Rapids Ballet and original music arranged by ESME from Mozart,Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Radiohead and premiered at the Peter Martin Wege Theatre. The choreography and narrative of the show were created by the project's artists as autobiographical; telling a personal journey of their struggles throughout their lives as performing artists.
In 2020 ESME created two virtual learning programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns that cancelled student learning opportunities across the country. Created in under two months, the ESME Virtual String Camp allowed students to study and perform chamber music from as far as Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Minnesota alongside students of West Michigan. Once again bringing world class artists from the New York Philharmonic and Detroit Symphony Orchestra to coach and perform with students of West Michigan the camp established itself as the only program of its kind in the region that summer to create a world class virtual learning opportunity for students in quarantine. During the fall of 2020 ESME created a school year virtual performance/recording training program called ECCO (ESME Chamber Course Online) working with over 300 students from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and from across the globe including Seattle, West Indies and China. Participating ECCO program students were taught to create their own virtual performances in both chamber groups and orchestras while staying socially distanced, performing from inside their homes a mix of classical, jazz and pop repertoire in Jazz, Wind, String and Full Orchestras for their December gala concerts.
