As a quartet or trio, these ladies produce some of the sweetest music in the area. Tanager Strings is one of the few groups that actually practices together. It may come as a surprise to some but most string trios and quartets are formed by a group "leader" who brings together several musicians on an as needed basis. Sometimes they meet each other for the first time at your event! With Tanager Strings you get talented, experienced musicians who have played and practiced together for years. They specialize in wedding ceremonies but play for all kinds of occasions including: wedding receptions, company parties, church programs, rehearsal dinners, Christmas parties and anniversaries. Julie Metcalf The heart and soul of the group, Julie has played violin for over 45 years. She is an active member of the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, often subs with other area orchestras, and has played with many ensembles over the years. Julie also enjoys teaching music to youngsters through private lessons. Cheryl Schuster Cheryl teaches music in the Mooresville School District and plays violin in the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra. Sandy Cox A cello player in the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra. Emily Vaught Emily has played the viola for over ten years, and is also a student majoring in education at the University of Indianapolis. She will graduate May, 2006. REPERTOIRE The range of these ladies is amazing; from classical to jazz to pop to sacred music they can do it all. Here is a small sampling of their repertoire of over 400 songs.
