City String Ensemble is a professional, versatile string ensemble which can perform as a string quartet, trio, duo or even as a small string orchestra. With a fast-growing reputation for lively performances of their modern pop and famous TV/Movie theme tunes, City String Ensemble has been the ensemble of choice for many award ceremonies, celebrity parties and special events taking place worldwide. With an unrivalled variety and range of music in their repertoire, they are able to cater for all tastes and ages. Their music ranges from genres such as; Classical, Jazz, Pop, TV/Movie Themes, Disney, Musicals, Bollywood and more and their debut EP of timeless modern pop songs is due to be released in the Autumn of 2020. City String Ensemble prides itself on being able to perform for almost any kind of event, including Jewish, Persian and Indian weddings, large-scale corporate events and private parties. They can also take special music requests and so if there is a song that does not already feature on their extensive song list, we can either acquire the pre-existing sheet music or have the song especially arranged by our in-house music arranger.
 We perform completely acoustically and are able to entertain your guests indoors or outdoors, provided there is suitable cover. We usually ensemble perform as a quartet but we are also available as a trio or duo, depending on space and budget. PA system can be provided at additional cost. For Weddings: We can entertain your guests for 30 minutes before the ceremony, and then perform music for the procession and recession of the bride and the signing of the register. You can also have us stay for longer to entertain your guests for your indoors or outdoors cocktail hour and beyond! Which Ensemble? The string quartet is the most popular and classic ensemble, possessing a diverse repertoire. A perfectly balanced range of instruments; the quartet can entertain the whole party or subtly blend into the surroundings, adding an extra sparkle to the atmosphere. A string trio is perfect for where space might be limited. A smaller group of just three players, our string trio can provide ample entertainment with much of our quartet repertoire also working perfectly well for trio. If you would prefer something more unique, a string duo may be what you are looking for. A combination of either two violins or a violin and cello presents a more intimate feel and again, frees up more room for your guests to enjoy your event. Our repertoire for string duo covers a wide range of genres, from Classical to Klezmer, Salsa and other styles from around the world.

The ensemble were superb - they played a Bridgerton style set which totally suited the vibe of the event, including a very topical Taylor Swift set and a rock set. I had lots of comments about how good they were from guests

Pacifico Strings were an absolute highlight for our wedding, playing during the ceremony and reception drinks. They really gave something unique to the day with their ability to play classical pieces and modern music, as well as incorporating some requests we had. They were easy to communicate with during the planning and lead up, we could not recommend them more highly, thank you!

City String Ensemble played at our Wedding on 1st June 2019. The service provided by Sophie is exceptional. Emails were promptly replied to and Sophie was very accommodating to our requests. On the day of the Wedding the performance from the string quartet gave our guests goose bumps. I know this because the guests are still raving 4 weeks after the event! I highly recommend City String Ensemble if you want a first class service and high quality performance at your event.
