We play acoustically, in which case,
other than chairs, we have everything we need.
As we are an acoustic group, we don’t use this equipment.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue.
No
We have worked with high profile artists, composers, conductors. I guess the best gig would be down to personal taste.
We have been influenced by many classical, pop and rock artists over the years.
We met in London whilst performing together in different settings. We all wanted to play in a quartet and decided to make it happen. Our first gig as a quartet was at merchant Taylor’s hall in London.
Wedding's
We usually set up about 1 hour before the performance.
We can perform outside. If we are playing outdoors we need shelter from rain / direct sun to protect our instruments.
We have a set repertoire list, but the clients can also request a specific piece.
Cinematic Strings were fantastic!
Our guests adored their work, and the song choice was beautiful.
We try our best to be flexible and ensure your event runs smoothly.
