String Theory is a chamber music series bringing the world’s best chamber music to downtown Chattanooga at the Hunter Museum of American Art. Offering superb musical performances in an artistically inspiring setting, String Theory brings the most sought-after musicians to Chattanooga and curates an exquisite programming that include chamber music classics as well as music of our time.

Presenting intimate music in a museum setting has been a treasured tradition at prestigious institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C. These one-hour concerts with the unique synergy between music, art and the audience has been the signature of String Theory, which has added to the vibrancy of the cultural fabric in Chattanooga.
