The Sonata Chamber Ensembles are represented exclusively by Jerry Bruno Productions. The Sonata Strings includes symphony-calibre performers who also appear as members of the Jerry Bruno Orchestra (pictured). The strings are often featured strolling at dinner time for charming personal performance.

The String Quartet (traditionally, two violins, viola, and cello) is a perfect choice for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, or any kind of event where a fine musical presentation would be appreciated.

The Sonata Strings also play as a trio (two violins and cello) and have performed with various featured instruments, such as flute, trumpet, and harp.
