The Miami Soul Strings, formed in 2008, is an ensemble dedicated to performing music from both a classical and jazz repertoire.
It is comprised of two of the finest musicians of the Miami area: Konstantin Litvinenko and Ariadna Barbe-Villa. After playing with many prestigious orchestras including: The Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, Southwest Florida Symphony, Odessa State Opera Theater, Florida Chamber Orchestra, The Naples Chamber Orchestra, and The New Philharmonic Orchestra, the Miami Soul Strings members, all of whom have individual careers in music, decided to come together as an ensemble to pursue their devotion to classical and contemporary literature. However, this devotion is not limited to live performance.
The Miami Soul Strings has made a commitment to the next generation of musicians by providing private lessons, chamber music and master classes as well as coaching diverse ensembles.
