Frequently asked questions

Do string quartets charge customers for the London Congestion Charge

If the event venue is located within the London Congestion Charge zone, it's important to clarify with your chosen act how they handle this fee. Some string quartets may include it in their price, while others may add it to their travel expenses. The charge is currently £15. Similarly, any car parking fees should also be discussed beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.

How long do string quartets in London usually perform for?

Each event is different but the typical performance time for string quartets in London is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Do string quartets in London perform outdoors?

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the performance and the instruments. If you are planning an outdoor event you should be prepared to offer a flat surface for performers as well as a cover in case of unexpected rain.

How far in advance do we need to book your services?

Booking string quartets in London as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Will the act provide all the necessary equipment?

Most string quartets in London are self-contained and provide their own equipment which is suitable for typical situations. Even though the act generally plays acoustically, if your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your musicians about their sound system requirements.

How much do string quartets cost in London?

The cost of hiring musicians in London can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £609. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £100, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £4248.

What type of music will a string quartet play?

London has some incredibly talented and very versatile string quartets available for hire. And in terms of the music they play? Well it varies wildly. There are string quartets who are playing classical favourites that were always made for string. While others are taking Indie, pop and even dance music classics and reimagining them for string. You can listen to music from London’s best string quartets right here and find the ones that fit your tastes the best.

Are there string duos or trios available for hire in London?

If you want to deviate from the traditional string quartet line up of two violinists, a viola player and a cellist, then this can often be done! There are groups out there already playing as duos and trios. And some quartets in London may also be prepared to adapt their line up to meet the requirements of your party, event or wedding.

Will these string quartets play outside?

London isn’t exactly known for its magnificent weather, is it? But if the sunshine makes an appearance and you have a venue with some outdoor space, you may well want to take your music outside with you!

If you want the option of outdoor play, speak to your preferred string quartet when you enquire.

It goes without saying that you’ll either need a dry day (or a gazebo!). But bear in mind too that string players rely heavily on their fingers! So cold weather is also a no go for playing string instruments outside.

Enquire directly about outdoor music in summer though.
