Biography
This String Quartet was formed in 2001 as an innovative ensemble to perform music outside of the stadard string quartet repertoire.
The Quartet has had many arrangements specifically written for them. They enjoy playing music from different idioms, including pop, rock, jazz and easy listening as well as standard classical pieces.
They have performed at embassies, corporate events, weddings and festivals as well as having been the resident string quartet at The Ritz Hotel, London.
All of the players have a music college background and have worked professionally in orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic and the BBC Philharmonic. Members of the quartet have played in Chicago, the West End Show. They have also worked with artists such as Elton John and Boyzone.
