4 armless chairs for a quartet
3 armless chairs for a trio
2 armless chairs for a duo
30 minutes to setup
NO
Whether your event is inside or outside and where we will be required to play.
NO
We require 4 armless chairs for the quartet (3 for a trio) and space of about 8&8 square feet. A quartet takes up more space than you think as we have music stands and need room to bow comfortably.
I'm not sure there have been several! A stand out would be playing for Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (Led Zepplin) at the Sheffield Arena.
Ah well...this ranges from Bach to Prince to Taylor Swift! We love playing Taylor Swift, Abba & string arrangements of modern songs. Mozart is also a winner!
All the players of "The Quartet" are professional musicicans working in the UK with world class orchestras such as the RSNO, Scottish Chamber orchestra, BBC SSO, Scottish Ballet Orchestra and more. We all have years of experience playing for weddings and events.
We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings and especially Asian weddings are our favourite. Its lovely to be part of this important day and contribute the musical sountrack for each individual couple.
A String Quartet consists of 4 players – violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello.
A String Trio consists of 3 players – violin, viola, cello. It creates a more intimate delicate sound and is suited to smaller events or venues. It costs less to hire as there are only 3 players.
We would be happy to discuss this with you as it depends on your budget, the size of venue/event, and the repertoire you choose. The quartet has a richer sound (more orchestral) and the trio and duo are more suited to smaller more intimate venues/events and budgets.
In the unlikely event that any of our players are not available due to unforeseen circumstances, The Quartet will provide a player or players of equal professional standard from our pool of trusted musicians.
We require 30 minutes to setup and warm up. A Typical booking would be for 2 hours to include 20 mins Pre-Ceremony, the Ceremony & 1 hour Drinks Reception. We are available to be booked for more time at your request.
Yes, we are happy to play outside from May - August. We require some cover if outside - trees, a shaded area, gazebo...
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Professional, seemless, easy to laiase with on the run up to the event, helpful, flexible, perfect, emotional...
Yes! We are very experienced at finding a suitable place in the music to finish or repeating and cutting so that the piece length fits your aisle and number of people processing. There is no need to worry, just leave it to us!
At The Quartet we usually wear smart black and will always appear in appropriate dress for your occasion, but we are happy to tailor our presentation to your needs.
