Founded by Damien Sneed and LeChateau Entertainment, the Griot String Quartet is an ensemble of young professional classical musicians who inspire a new perspective that challenges the assumption of what classical music looks like. Touring throughout the United States, recent highlights include Washington Performing Arts and CAAPA, Harriman-Jewell Series, Tuesday Musical Association, and Sunflower Performing Arts. They have performed at the John F. Kennedy Center, Jay & Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center, Folly Theater, Wellin Hall, EJ Thomas Performing Arts Hall, and gave a special performance lecture at the historical Howard University alongside Damien Sneed and Jacqueline Echols. The Griot String Quartet has shared the stage with famous opera singers including Raehann Bryce-Davis, Amanda Bottoms, Raven McMillon, Jacqueline Echols, Janinah Burnett, and Justin Austin.
