Over the past two years, the Ensemble has become an international sensation – with major TV appearances on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show”, ABC’s “Good Morning America”, Fox News, NBC's The Today Show, Steve Harvey’s “Little Big Shots” and the Harry Connick Show. In addition, the group performed at the White House for President Obama.
Internationally, the group has performed all over the world, including on Hunan TV’s “Amazing Kids” Show (China), SBS “Star King” (Korea), Little Big Star (Netherland) and SAT "Super Kids" (Germany).
Besides TV appearances, the group has performed at major concert venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Citi Field. And they already have garnered a robust social media following, with millions of youtube views and followers.
Mixing an eclectic repertoire, the Joyous String Ensemble performs from traditional classical music to today’s pop hits and mash-ups – innovatively orchestrated and arranged to give the audience a unique listening experience. Despite their youthful age, the group is a model of mature and brilliant musicianship.
Centered around 11-year-old multi-talented cellist Justin Yu and 7-year-old violinist Christine Yu, the group with us today also consists of violinists Tyler, Mickayla, Sabrina, Tiffany cellists Gwendolyn, Megan and bassist Brendon.
