At last there is a musical ensemble with the style and sophistication that is San Francisco.
Golden Gate Strings was created by longtime San Francisco musician Su Buchignani. Over the years, she has seen the return to elegance in Bay Area events and realized that San Francisco deserved a musical group to complement this renewed elegance. Assembling an extraordinary ensemble of concertmasters and principal players from the greater Bay Area's finest symphony orchestras, she created exclusive arrangements for the group in a wide variety of styles including classical, movie greats, favorites from the 1930s through the 1950s, tango, classic rock, R & B, Motown and well beyond. Golden Gate Strings was born.
The Golden Gate Sound is truly unique. Unlike any other ensemble, the group is equally at home performing a full classical concert at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, or stretching out with Motown on the steps of the rotunda of San Francisco City Hall. Nowhere else can you find a group whose song list extends from Vivaldi's Spring through Gone With The Wind, The Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Play That Funky Music, with scores of selections in between.
Golden Gate Strings has created quite a sensation, and the respect of both agents and clients. The ensemble has performed as a classical string orchestra for the National Convocation of the American College of Physicians, The World Boy Scout Federation and King Gustavus of Sweden. It performed popular selections for Accenture, KEG Canada, John Muir Medical Group and many more. Su worked with production designers and developed a unique program of exclusive Golden Gate Strings arrangements of rock, R&B and funk favorites for Google's 2006 Holiday Party. If that weren't enough, Golden Gate Strings created the perfect music for a fairytale wedding at San Francisco City Hall. Each performance is uniquely designed to reflect the client's individual taste and style. From their elegant gowns, white ties and tails, to their extensive repertoire, the musicians of Golden Gate Strings are unsurpassed. Come and hear the Golden Gate Strings and see how this exciting ensemble can add incomparable elegance to receptions, fundraisers, weddings and corporate events.
