A note from The Rhythm Method:
To all of our supporters who have joined us for concerts, listened to our albums, kept up-to-date with our newsletter updates, or simply sent us a positive thought now and again – we want to say thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. This business of music making is inherently and necessarily social, and we truly couldn’t do it without you, our audience and collaborators – nor would we want to! Thank you for taking time out of your day to enter into a listening environment with us, and for opening space in your life to engage with the art we care so very deeply about. We hope it has made you think about something with a new perspective, or brought you a moment of joy, or challenged you to reflect in a meaningful way.

Your support sustains our community of artists, students, and audience members, presenting a model for collective creativity that extends beyond the string quartet. We're so thankful for your support!
