Our Story
Impulse Strings is a premier music organization specializing in events, founded by violinist and violist Alexandria Pritchard. Based in New York City, we serve the NY, NJ, PA, and CT areas, and have recently expanded with a Las Vegas branch, Sin City Strings by Impulse Strings, bringing exceptional musical entertainment to the Las Vegas valley in addition to our presence in the NY tri-state area.
At Impulse Strings, we pride ourselves on working with the finest musicians and offering uniquely crafted arrangements. From the very beginning, we’ve hand-written all of our music to ensure a personal touch that sets us apart. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of performing at a wide range of events, including weddings, corporate gatherings, private parties, and even prestigious engagements with The Chainsmokers and the Stellar Awards (the Gospel Grammys).
