After concentrating on the viola during college, she combined her love of music with her love of running businesses, and developed a musical organization capable of performing in a wide range of venues, from very intimate settings to large celebrations. She hired professional musicians whose versatility with various musical styles and instruments complemented each other, and whose interests enabled the company to bring about its tremendous repertoire. Her interest in Celtic music has led her to research, and share with audiences, the folklore of the British Isles, adding another dimension to her performances. She actively explores new musical interests, and looks for opportunities to expand Anthem's services.

It’s been a bit quiet in the event entertainment world. What a treat to play together yesterday! A rescheduled anniversary party for a repeat client found its home at Patapsco State Park. We played a mix of Celtic, pop and classical with Chelle Fulk on fiddle, Jody Marshall on hammered dulcimer, and Kristen Jones on cello.
One last holiday party for the season! Chelle debuted her new octave viola, “Octavio” (it’s a viola with thick strings, pitched the same as a cello!). He really needs a quiet room to be heard, but he’s pretty cool. #stringduo #dcstrings #viola #cello #octaveviola
We are thrilled to announce that the long-awaited "Fluffy's Master Plan for World Domination" (featuring Anthem string players Chelle Fulk, Janet Greene & Kristen Jones) is now available for download! All proceeds will be donated to Operation Blankets of Love, which helps homeless animals on their path to adoption.
Thanks to Amy Engelhardt for including us on this fun track, and Steve Steckler at Asparagus Media Studios for the string engineering!
Oh, and Chelle & Kristen's cats are also part of the "Meowalujah Chorus" on this song....

Our string trio played a gorgeous backyard wedding today - we loved the color scheme of purples, golds, oranges and reds. And our Luis and Clark Carbon Fiber Instruments handled the autumn chill nicely. Thanks to Olivera Music Entertainment for the gig! #weddingstrings #virginiaweddings #luisandclark #carbonfiberviolin

JJ&T Entertainment invited us to represent them at this wedding showcase in Gaithersburg MD. The event included a "mock" wedding, and here you'll hear clips of the music we played for Prelude, Processional, and Recessional. You get to see a bit of the musicians'-eye-view of wedding ceremonies! I hope you'll consider recommending us to anyone you know who is planning a wedding or special event.
