String Theory

BIOGRAPHy

String Theory is a collaborative ensemble of musicians and dancers that utilize invented instruments and sonic sculpture to create their unique performance landscape and sonic footprint. The ensemble was founded by instrument designer/builder and composer, Luke Rothschild; choreographer/director, Holly Rothschild; and cellist, composer, Joseph Harvey. String Theory consistently delivers stunning and unique entertainment to the top people in the events industry. String Theory transforms architecture into musical instruments and then “plays” the building. This new concept in performance always fits beautifully when the client has a flare for the unusual and guests who enjoy only the most cutting edge work at their event or party. Opulent golden musical brass wires envelope the guests in a canopy of sound and attach to existing structure. Choreographed dancers Harpists mesmerize onlookers with kinetic performance as they play the long-strings, generating captivating tones and textures. Either interior or outside to the facades of buildings up to 1000 feet high, String Theory installations and performances garner the highest praise from all who witness.
