J and K Strings

✨J&K Strings brings a rich, refined sound to the vibrant Scranton and Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area, blending technical precision with a warm, personal touch. Founded by violinist Katie Berry and cellist Johnathon Burns, this dynamic duo offers over 15 years of shared performance history. What began as a musical partnership during their middle school years has evolved into a polished professional act capable of shaping the soundscape of any event. Their natural chemistry and deep musical intuition shine through in every performance, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and engaging.

Both musicians hold music degrees from Marywood University and bring impressive credentials to every venue. Katie shares her passion daily as a music educator in the North Pocono School District, while Johnathon has performed extensively as a soloist and section player with regional powerhouses like the Wyoming Seminary Civic Orchestra and the Northern Tier Symphony Orchestra. Their classical background gives them total command over traditional masterworks, but their real magic lies in stepping outside the classical comfort zone. They regularly transform modern pop hits, classic rock ballads, and custom arrangements into intimate string acoustic covers.

Whether providing elegant ceremony music, background sounds for corporate receptions, or custom sets for private milestone parties, J&K Strings adapts to match the exact energy of the room. They handle every performance with clear communication, total reliability, and a commitment to musical excellence. Organizers looking to add a distinct, live instrumental element to their next function will find this duo delivers high-caliber talent that keeps guests fully engaged from start to finish.
