Nob Hill String Ensembles offer an extensive repertoire of elegant classical, light-classical and popular music for weddings, receptions, corporate functions and special events throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay area.

 

Led by Teressa "Terry" Adams (cellist and music coordinator) ensemble members include some of the finest, most experienced professional musicians in the Bay Area. Individually, they have performed with the San Francisco , Oakland and San Jose symphonies, and participated in hundreds of recording sessions and musical theater productions such as "Les Miserables," "Showboat," "Evita," "Miss Saigon" and "Phantom of the Opera."

Ensemble players have performed and recorded with numerous celebrities, including Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Pearl Bailey, Tony Bennett, Sarah Brightman, Henry Mancini, Ella Fitzgerald, Joel Grey, Smokey Robinson, Linda Ronstadt, Country Joe MacDonald, Al Jarreau, Boz Scaggs, Billy Joel, Kitaro, Aaron Neville, John Williams, Van Morrison, Bjork and many other popular recording artists.

Movie soundtrack credits for the members include "Star Wars," "Predator II," "Mimic," "The Game," "One Fine Day," "Sphere," "Inspector Gadget," "Bicentennial Man" and "Once Upon A Time in Mexico" -- all recorded at Skywalker Ranch in Marin County.
