WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
We have distinguished ourselves in the music industry with a Signature Style that harnesses the beauty of the traditional string quartet and then completely revolutionizes it.
​
Our arrangements are created by us exclusively for ESQ musicians. Our talent roster consists of a select group of artists who love what they do and have the chops to match.
​
Only with ESQ can your event include stunning renditions of classical music, acoustic covers of modern songs, rock tunes on electric instruments that will blow your mind, and a DJ Fusion party package unlike any other.
From New York's Radio City Hall to Moscow's Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, our musicians have had the privilege to appear alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry: Idina Menzel, Michael Bublé, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Branford Marsalis, Kygo, The Roots, and The Who among them.
​
Our boutique entertainment company is built on years of experience, a passion for innovation, and a love of making music together. For you. Only with ESQ.
MEET THE MUSICIANS
Aisha
Prima Donna of the Violin
​
Favorite Song: Havana
​
Aisha Dossumova is a world-class musician, concert soloist, and violin professor. Her beautiful sound and flawless technique is the epitome of Elegance. There is no one better to perform our unique arrangements, which weave together pop, rock, and classical music in surprising ways (i.e. Mozart quotes in Havana!).
Claudia
Violin, Tickler of the Keys
​
Favorite Song: Everybody
​
Spanish-born Claudia Pellegrini is the bad-ass violinist of the ensemble. Her killer solos will get a room full of people to party with a string quartet like it is a rock band. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Claudia is also the ideal violinist to perform our jazz standards and show tunes. Her extensive background in musical theater gives her the confidence and stage presence to lead our string quartet with flair and energy.
Jenny
Violist, Singer, Uke Slinger, DJ
​
Favorite Song: Kashmir
Jennifer Boorum is the energizer of the group. When’s she’s not grooving on the viola, she’s fronting the band with her captivating vocals and stage presence. Jenny is also our resident DJ + Emcee, hosting your full-day event with style. Behind the scenes she partners with Ray to produce our shows and coordinate logistics for wedding and corporate events.
Ray
The Boss*
​
Favorite Song: GOT Remix
​
*AKA: The Cable Guy, The Sound Guy, The Beat Dropper, Arranger, Producer
(...and cellist, too!)
​
Rajli (Ray) Bicolli does it all. From writing all the signature mashups to mixing the beats, he plays a mean cello with his hands and rocks the rhythm machine with his feet. He runs the show from start to finish and somehow doesn’t break a sweat (even when he does the moonwalk or the limbo while playing the electric cello — no, really, there’s proof).
