The Foto Sisters have been performing together for over 13 years. They continue to make appearances in many different venues across the US including churches, schools, cantatas, weddings and charity events. In 2015, they were invited to perform for the National Day of Prayer Service held at the Louisiana State Capital. During the summer of 2015, The Foto Sisters collaborated with renown bassist DaXun Zhang on the Dvorak String Quintet. In addition to their regular appearances as a trio, they have individually won concerto competitions, soloing with the Rapides Symphony Orchestra and the Louisiana Youth Orchestra (LYO). Each have held leadership positions as concertmaster, principal violist, and principle cellist in the LYO.
