4 Strings Attached is a youth violin ensemble founded in 2004 and led by violinist Martin Lopez. Made up of performers ages 3 to 18, the group promotes a love of music through performances, education, and community events across the Chicagoland area, presenting dynamic one-hour programs performed entirely from memory. They have gained recognition through local festivals, media appearances, and corporate events, as well as national and international tours to Mexico, Florida, Bulgaria, and Italy, and they love performing for new communities. Beyond musical growth, members develop discipline, teamwork, and confidence through their experiences.
