We offer guitar and violin music for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, company functions, yoga classes, house concerts, art openings, and more. We feature Greg Barnett on guitar and Susan Shloss on violin. Greg is available as a solo classical guitarist playing music from the Renaissance to the present. Together as a duo, Greg and Susan play classical repertoire, jazz standards, and traditional fiddle tunes. We also play jazz standards as a trio with bass. At Loving Strings Music, we add to the love, beauty, and grace of special events.

History

Established in 2011.

Lifelong musicians, Susan and Greg have performed separately on many American and European stages including California Shakespeare Festival, Davies Symphony Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Kennedy Center, and Cirque Du Soleil. They gave their first performances together in 2011. They decided to form Loving Strings Music later that year and have since performed together for numerous public shows, parties, art events, weddings, and yoga classes and workshops.

Greg has performed well over a thousand times in styles ranging from classical to jazz to rock. Some highlights include five seasons with the California Shakespeare Festival and two years with Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion. He received his M.M. in classical guitar from Florida State University and did postgrad studies in guitar and early music at the University of North Texas.

Susan received her B.M. in music from Baldwin-​Wallace College Conservatory. She loves performing classical, jazz, and traditional fiddle music.
