Who We Are

Our trio, 12 Strings, consists of 3 members: Benz (who plays the cello), Pratima and Krystel (who both play violins). Individually, we have each played our instruments for over 15 years and began playing together two years ago.
It all started when Benz and Pratima were asked to play at a wedding. During rehearsals, we found that there wasn’t enough “depth” in our sound so we asked Krystel to join, thus 12 Strings was born.
We decided to stay together and play for more events because we realize that it is a great gift to be able to share our music for any occasion. Plus, we have lots of fun while playing together.
What Sets Us Apart
There are many groups out there that provide live music. What makes us different is our commitment to our clients. This dedication drives us to stay for that 3rd run-through at dress rehearsals (even when time is up) or countless email exchanges to make sure all your needs are addressed. We want to "get it right" just as much as you do.
We are fun, energetic and enthusiastic about our music and always open to new ideas for our performances. Because we are able to arrange our own music, the sky is the limit. We do our best to accommodate any music preferences and welcome song requests outside of our normal repertoire.
