Get in touch now to discuss your ideas and requirements! As well as the traditional string quartet, we also offer: STRING DUO A traditionally harmonious paring for smaller spaces or smaller budgets, the Classical String Duo is an elegant reduction of our quartet ideal for proposals, rehearsal dinners, cocktail parties, restaurants, champagne receptions and of course weddings. The Classical String Duo are most appropriate for quieter, more reserved settings though they are still loud enough to play over a noisy gathering or a windy garden party. While specialising in traditionally classical music the Duo also have a strong Jewish repertoire with Israeli dancing as well as Bollywood music. As with our other groups, the Duo are also able to rehearse and perform any requests for your special event – we always love a challenge! The Duo are ideal for weddings as they can fit into smaller spaces for the service, can play outdoors during the photographs to keep your guests entertained, and take no time to set up at the reception before your guests begin to arrive. Many of our wedding packages are designed with continuity and ease in mind so please see the ‘Wedding Entertainment’ page for more options. Design your own pair! Whether you want two violins, a violin and a cello, a violin and a harp, the Strings Duo option is fully flexible according to your requirements. Our Duo will dress to brief and can master your favourite playlist no matter the content! STRING TRIO The additional instrument makes the Trio a more rousing, profound sound compared to our delicate duo or majestic classical string quartet. The Classical String Trio arrangement is still able to perform in smaller spaces and retains the flexibility of a Classical String Duo which is ideal for weddings, receptions, garden parties or corporate events. While specialising in traditionally classical music the Trio also have a strong Jewish music repertoire with Israeli dancing as well as Bollywood and popular music. As with our other groups, the Trio are also able to rehearse and perform any requests for your special event – we always love a challenge! Design your own Trio! Whether you want the traditional violin, viola and cello amalgamation or an alternative arrangement our Strings Trio option is fully flexible whatever your desired combination. Our Trio will dress to brief and can master your favourite playlist no matter the content!
