Our Team

  • Christopher Thibdeau

    FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

    Christopher founded Boston MetroWest Strings in October 2024 to address the lack of accessible string education in his hometown of Ashland, Massachusetts. While working in the greater Boston area, he recognized the need for local programs in violin, viola, cello, and bass. In 2025, he met violinist Isabel Sorebo, whose passion for music and dedication to arts education aligned perfectly with his vision, helping bring Boston MetroWest Strings to life.
