The group’s upcoming season includes a concert tour across North Carolina and Tennessee\, masterclasses at Asheville Music School\, as well as performances in New York City and around the Northeast. \nNew Amsterdam String Band’s name comes from New York City's historic roots and nods to the group's origin in the Big Apple.
