Charlie hired Sonore String Quartet for a Wedding (available in Ely)
"It weas a great performance very much far beyond the expectation. The time to prepare was very small and the performance was extremely good. We asked for 2 songs out of the repertory and they made it perfectly in just 2 days. Moreover they coordinated beautifully with the previous performant, the magician. It was really great. Absolute recommendation, and for sure will call them next time I need them. Thank you Pippa, Isa and Inés! "
