2016 NYCS

So I was listening to a live version New York City Serenade from 2016 and I was wondering who the members of the strings section were for that song during the 2016 tour. Bruce never mentions them by name and I couldn’t find too much info online about them so I was wondering if anyone here knew their names.

Which city?

It is my understanding though I can't point to a source, that each city used a different group of local string players/ensembles

I think each city had a different section. For MetLife it was Sam Bardfeld's section, for Rome the Roma Sinfionetta Orchestra

Wikipedia just says Sam Bardfeld string section. Sam was a member of the Seeger Sessions band.

This is crazy you just asked that! I was thinking about those renditions two days ago and meant to make a post why I can’t find any video of it. That stand was magical in every way.
