Hey there! I'm Henry Sergienko, the mandolin player and main point of contact for The Internationals. We're a diverse and talented musical team based in Chicago, offering a wide range of instruments including piano, violin, harp, saxophone, accordion, and bagpipes. With a blend of classical, jazz, blues, medieval, and traditional music from around the world, we've been bringing our unique sound to weddings, corporate events, festivals, and fundraisers for the past 20 years. Our lead violinist, Michael, brings a wealth of experience to the group. With a background studying violin in Kazakhstan and performing with symphony orchestras across the globe, he's shared the stage with musical legends like Mstislav Rostropovich and Daniel Barenboim. Whether as a soloist or ensemble player, Michael's passion for music shines through in every performance. Looking for something fun and entertaining for the kids? We've got you covered with a children's variety show featuring comedy juggling, magic tricks, balloon animals, face painting, and more.

Review by Kari M.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 29, 2026•From Palatine, IL

The Internationals were So accomodating. I wanted a play list for a birthday party for my 90 year old mom, and they quickly sent a long list to choose. I also had them play outside in hot weather, and they had great attitudes and energy.. Wonderful performers, would definitely recommend!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 14, 2026•From Elk Grove Village, IL

What a great experience. James was amazing. Definitely the hit of the party. Not only was he good at his craft he was just one of the nicest guys. He mingled with all our guests and each commented on what a nice and friendly man. I would highly recommend considering James bagpipes for one of your events.
