Violinist Abigail Karr, violist Sarah Darling and cellist Kate Bennett Haynes had been playing together in various settings and combinations for over ten years before joining forces as a string trio in the winter of 2006.

Abigail Karr received both Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, studying violin performance with Sergiu Luca. During summers, she participated in the Tanglewood Music Center, the Taos School of Music, the Colorado Music Festival, and the International Baroque Institute at Longy. Since completing her studies at Rice in 2003, she has performed with ensembles in and around her native Boston, including the Handel and Haydn Society, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, the Boston Ballet, and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra. She has also performed with Ton Koopman at Carnegie Hall as part of that organization's Professional Training Workshop series, and with Sergiu Luca as a guest of Houston's Context Chamber Ensemble. She is a member of New Trinity Baroque of Atlanta, the Arcturus Chamber Ensemble, and Boston Hausmusik, and enjoys sharing her thoughts on music with her young students.
