Biography
This London based string quartet is firmly established as one of the best string quartets in the business. With a wealth of experience spanning 10 years, they are renowned for the skill and quality of their playing, the variety and imagination of their repertoire and their professional and friendly service.
From weddings, bar mitzvahs and parties to corporate events, conferences and recitals - whatever the event this quartet can be relied upon to complement it with a sound and look that is both elegant and entertaining.
"I was very impressed with the high standard and flexibility... the music was perfectly tailored to the needs of the programme."
Nigel Acheson, Senior Producer, BBC Radio 4
"I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone planning a wedding or function. Their musical repertoire is vast and their standard of play is a delight."
Juanita Hadley, Events Manager, Tewin Bury Farm Hotel
The quartet enjoys performing at many weddings each year and we offer an expert and friendly service to all our clients. We are happy to give advice on repertoire, so that the choice of music creates the desired atmosphere throughout the day.
Traditional favourites are always available but we have also accompanied the bride down the aisle to 'Teddy Bears Picnic', played 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for the signing of the register and had the guests join us in “When I'm 64'.
