Scherzando Strings are a professional Violin Duo formed by Sue Harris-Cohen and William Pickering in 2012. We are joined by fellow professionals to form Scherzando String Quartet and Scherzando String Trio.
We have many years experience playing for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, anniversaries as well as fund raising recitals.
Let us take care of all the music for your wedding, from ceremony, through reception to the wedding breakfast. We provide a personal service to help you choose your music for your special day, performing a wide variety of styles to suit all tastes from Bach to the Beatles and covers of the latest hits. We also arrange music to play as special requests.
Based in Telford, Scherzando Strings play throughout the West Midlands and North Wales and have a flexible approach to provide the highest standards of music from the grandest venues to country churches, village halls, hotles and home events.
They also give concerts and recitals together as well as playing for social events, fundraising and celebration parties.
Based in Newport (Shropshire), Shropshire
