Styles String Quartets
Counties East Sussex • Essex • Greater London • Kent
Biography
This Kent String Quartet was formed in 1997 by professional musician friends living in Kent and south London who really enjoy playing together as a string quartet.
They are available to hire for wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, civil partnerships, parties, funerals, corporate events, functions and celebrations and have played at venues varying from the Imperial War Museum, Woburn Abbey, Claridges, Penshurst Place & Chevening House to a bandstand in a village fair - and lots of gazebos and marquees in back gardens.
The players in the quartet are all experienced musicians who have played in London based orchestras: symphony, ballet, opera, West End shows, the BBC and soundtracks for film & television. Their playing is top class professional standard - music is what they all do for a living, full time.
Their guarantee to you: beautiful music played for your event at the highest possible standard.
They can provide an elegant and entertaining atmosphere for your special day, playing music ranging from Vivaldi, Bach and Mozart through to Cole Porter, the Beatles and Blur with an overall classical feel.
