The Team
Who We Are
Jada Tate
Founder & CEO
Jada Tate has had music at the heart of her life for as long as she can remember. She has been playing the violin for over 22 years and has spent the past 12 building Upstate Strings into a premier ensemble known for bringing elegance and artistry to live events.
She earned her degree in Music Education from Furman University, where she was a member of the scholarship string quartet and the university orchestra — and where the vision for Upstate Strings first began. Jada’s passion for performance and connection has grown into a thriving community of talented musicians dedicated to excellence and beauty in every note.
