Performance
& Education
Reimagined.
Bowed Arts is a forward-thinking string ensemble that blends classical tradition with modern innovation. Their performances span from Bach to Beyoncé, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and contemporary relevance. Beyond the stage, they engage in education and composition, aiming to make string music accessible and inspiring for diverse audiences.
What We Do
Bowed Arts collaborates with leading brands like Sephora, TIFF, and SOHO House, and has been featured in major productions such as The JUNO Awards, Canada's Got Talent, and Canada's Walk of Fame. We perform alongside international artists including Kygo, Ed Sheeran, and The Arkells. As a premier string collective, Bowed Arts is a top choice for headlining and supporting live events, recording sessions, product launches, and tours.
Who We Are
We are a dynamic ensemble of accomplished string musicians, each bringing a wealth of experience as performers, composers, arrangers, and educators. Our all-female-identifying group takes pride in our collective identity, but it's our dedication to excellence and versatility that truly defines us. Whether on stage, in the studio, or the classroom, we deliver compelling musical experiences that resonate with audiences and students alike.
A new take on an old tradition
Bowed Arts is the future of string music in performance, education and composition.
“Bowed Arts lifted us out of our pandemic stupor and reminded us all how to live again. The ensemble are all such appealing and expressive performers, their music had adults and kids all tapping, swaying, singing and dancing. I wouldn’t miss any chance to hear Bowed Arts perform!”
