As a poly-genre ensemble, OPUS 216 leans into more than our classical roots, from Irish fiddle to French and South American jazz, to modern covers and original music. Classically-trained and unbound by genre, core players in OPUS 216 have appeared onstage with Michael Buble, Brian Wilson, and Kygo, among others. As recording artists, their strings have been featured in tracks for a myriad of artists including Lewis Capaldi, Chayla Hope, and Tropidelic. In the classical realm, OPUS 216 members sub with the Cleveland Orchestra and Chicago Symphony, and regularly appear in the Erie Philharmonic, Mansfield, Canton, and Akron Symphony Orchestras, among others.
