The Continental String Ensemble's '1893' debut album
"Music From the Era of the Chicago World's Fair" is to be released by the premier American Classical record label Centaur Records June 16. It will be available on CD, Streaming and wherever music is sold.
While the foundation of the Continental String Ensemble’s repertoire stems from turn of the century 1890-1910 parlor music, they are not limited to this genre. They are equally at home with many styles of classical music, fiddle jazz, pop, tangos, gypsy and even rock. The CSE performs on concerts stages, in cafes, cabarets, taverns, festivals and private parties.
The Continental String Ensemble has a wide repertoire of German and Viennese music. They occasionally add other instruments such as tuba or accordion, as here they perform Johann Schrammel's "Kunst und Natur" with tuba.
The CSE was busy during the pandemic. Watch Paganini's Terzetto - Minuetto created via Social Distance!
