The String Queens: Redefining Classical Music Through Culture, Legacy & Purpose on The SitDown

The SitDown returns with special guests, The String Queens (@thestringqueens). Fresh off the release of their powerful original composition, Troubled Liberty, The String Queens are entering a bold new chapter of artistry, purpose, and storytelling. Released on Juneteenth, the moving piece reflects on freedom, resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of Black Americans while honoring the voices and legacies that continue to shape our history. Comprised of violinist Kendall Isadore, violist Dawn Johnson, and cellist Élise Sharp, the acclaimed trio has captivated audiences from Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center to the Presidential Inauguration Concert and NPR Tiny Desk. Now, they join The SitDown to discuss their musical journey, cultural impact, the inspiration behind Troubled Liberty, and their forthcoming album, What We Carry.

Just real conversations. #TheSitDown #TheStringQueens #TroubledLiberty #Snubb3dMagazine #BlackExcellence #WomenInMusic #Juneteenth #ClassicalMusic #WhatWeCarry
