About OPUS 216

The musicians of OPUS 216 are versatile and fully professional, with most performers holding multiple degrees from some of the country’s top classical music conservatories. Past performers with OPUS 216 have gone on to perform in major orchestras, touring ensembles, and hold faculty positions at prestigious universities. Players are just at home with The Beatles as they are with Bach or Beethoven. OPUS 216 artists are frequently called upon for recording sessions with area producers and recording engineers and enjoy creating original music, creative covers, and adaptations of modern songs.
