The Moxie Strings, a renowned instrumental act, presents a captivating opportunity for music enthusiasts to embark on a unique journey with some of the world's most well-known instruments. With their youthful and progressive approach, Diana Ladio and Alison Lynn, both holding Bachelor of Music degrees in music performance, offer an exceptional and innovative perspective. The technical foundation they possess allows for exploration and reinvention. The Moxie Strings' repertoire consists predominantly of their own compositions, as well as carefully arranged melodies from diverse musical traditions. The result is a remarkable fusion of mesmerizing melodies and invigorating, rock-inspired rhythms. Diana showcases her talent on a contemporary five-string violin, while Alison's electric cello is enhanced by a range of audio effects pedals. The combination of their polished, high-energy performances and distinctive sound has propelled The Moxie Strings to the forefront of instrumental acts nationally. In fact, they reached the pinnacle of success by claiming the top spot on Billboard's Classical Crossover chart last year. However, The Moxie Strings are about to embark on a hiatus, making their upcoming performance in Petoskey an unmissable opportunity.
