London Strings

London Strings is based in London, available to hire for events both in the UK and internationally. Our team of musicians play both acoustic and electric instruments, and can provide backing tracks for some of our pop songs, of about 2.5 hours in length. London Strings can be booked as a quartet, trio or duo. Our musicians have performed extensively as soloists, chamber artists and orchestral musicians with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic and London Philharmonic, and in venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre, and Cadogan Hall. We have performed with musicians including Andrea Bocelli and for the Netflix series Bridgerton. Hailing from New Zealand and Turkey, Lucy Gijsbers (cello) and Arda Karakaya (violin) founded London Strings in 2017. Since starting out as a duo, we have expanded to include some of our select, professional colleagues. We have a few duos and quartets available! Top graduates from the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music in London who are now working in professional orchestras, our team of talented musicians are available to play for weddings and special events. As versatile performers, we play both classical and popular music so please let us know if you have any particular musical requests for your event. Each member of London Strings performs to the highest level, so you can book us with confidence, knowing that you will receive only the best performance for your event. PLEASE NOTE we also perform as a string trio and quartet, and regularly collaborate with pianists. Please let us know what type of ensemble you wish to hire, and we will take care of it all for you!
