How  it all started

Founded by violinist Alejandra Switala, cellist Everardo Sánchez, and mulit-media artist Amelia De Rudder, Pilsen Classical is a chamber project featuring an ever-expanding group of extraordinary musicians, primarily Latine, Black, and Asian, who are passionate about chamber music and collaboration.

This violin and cello friendship duo began in Chicago in 2016 when Ale and Eve discovered they both had roots in El Paso, TX. Since then they have shared the concert stage, holidays, and road trips! They both live in the Pilsen/La Villita neighborhoods of Chicago.

Who We Are

You might talk about your origin story, your team, highlight awards or recognitions, or share photos. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this. The way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now.
