About
The Pop String Orchestra is a contemporary, large-format ensemble created for luxury weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, fashion events, corporate galas, and high-level private celebrations. Designed for clients who want the visual presence of an orchestra with the energy of a modern production. Our ensemble delivers a performance experience that is both refined and impactful.
At its core, the Pop String Orchestra is a 16-piece ensemble, featuring a full string section supported by a rhythm section. This signature format provides depth, movement, and a powerful sonic foundation while remaining flexible enough to adapt to complex event timelines.
For larger productions, the orchestra can expand to 20, 24, or even 30+ musicians. For more intimate settings, streamlined configurations are also available while maintaining the same musical integrity and visual presence.
The Sound
The repertoire blends contemporary pop anthems, iconic dance tracks, cinematic scores, and select classical crossover works, all custom arranged for strings and rhythm section.
The Pop String Orchestra can also perform special Ibiza-inspired sets featuring orchestral arrangements of iconic house music classics, bringing the energy of the dance floor to elegant event settings.
The result is rich, rhythmic, and emotionally engaging. Elegant enough for black-tie dinners. Dynamic enough to command a ballroom.
Featured elements may include electric violin, saxophone, percussion, vocalists, or collaborative moments with DJs to transition seamlessly into the after-party.
Immersive & Flash Mob Performances
Beyond traditional staging, the Pop String Orchestra is known for its choreographed flash mob-style reveals. Musicians may begin dispersed throughout the space, gradually building into a full orchestral moment that transforms the energy of the room.
These immersive performances are carefully designed in collaboration with planners and production teams to create dramatic entrances, dinner highlights, and unforgettable show segments.
National Presence
The Pop String Orchestra performs nationwide. Recent engagements include luxury weddings in Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Palm Beach; private celebrations in the Hamptons; New York Fashion Week in New York City; brand activations in Miami; and milestone events in Los Angeles and Houston, Texas.
The ensemble is fully travel-ready and experienced in working alongside premier planners, designers, and AV teams across the United States.

Founded and Directed by Peter Kiral
The Pop String Orchestra is led by violist and producer Peter Kiral, founder of Kiral Artists. Originally from Slovakia, Peter began his musical journey studying classical music in Europe, where he performed with orchestras and ensembles throughout the region and pursued specialized studies in early music performance.
His career in the event music industry began in 2007 while studying at the College of Charleston, where he formed his first ensemble and began performing at weddings and private events.
Peter later moved to New York City, where he pursued his passion for performing and producing live music for high-profile events. During his years in New York, he collaborated with leading planners and performed at world-class venues, including two performances at Carnegie Hall, building the foundation for what would later become Kiral Artists.
Over the years, his work has taken him across the United States and Europe, producing music for luxury weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations, fashion events, corporate galas, and exclusive private celebrations. Through Kiral Artists, Peter has curated a national network of exceptional musicians and production partners and has provided entertainment for more than 2,000 events worldwide.
With the Pop String Orchestra, Peter combines his background as a professional string player with his experience producing large-scale event entertainment. The result is an ensemble designed specifically for modern celebrations — where orchestral elegance meets the energy of contemporary production.
“A great event orchestra should feel both powerful and elegant — something that transforms the atmosphere of a room.”
— Peter Kiral
