In the artist's words:

The String Archestra was founded in 2016 by Dr. Dr. Daniele G. Daude to promote works by Black, Indigenous, and PoC composers who have been erased in the concert repertoire and canonical classical music history. In 2021, The String Archestra won the TONALi Award in the "Umbruch" category and performed at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. The String Archestra collaborates with a variety of composers, including Ayanna Witter-Johnson (Apollo Prize 2011), Anthony R. Green (Founder Castle of Our Skin), Jessie Montgomery (Grammy 2024) Craig Harris (Sun Ra and The Arkestra), MARIAMA, Shannon Sea, Shelly Phillip, Yudania Gomez Heredia, and Philo Tsoungui.
