String Theory (artist collective)

The String Theory is an international artist collective that provides a creative joint venture production platform for composers, artists, musicians and visual artists from different countries. The collective was founded in 2006. Their first project was The Berlin String Theory in 2006-2008, followed by The Göteborg String Theory in 2009-11. Since 2012 the collective's orchestra goes by the name The String Theory and has performed live with Swedish-Argentian artist José González during a number of European and North American tours. Live recordings from those tours are featured on the double album Live in Europe. In November 2019, the ensemble were nominated for a Grammy Award 2020 in the category of Best Spoken Word Album for their collaborative album with American spoken word poet Sekou Andrews, Sekou Andrews & The String Theory.
