Credits: Recognised as one of London's pre-eminent light-music ensembles, they have performed at international and Royal events, played live for the BBC and have composed and performed music for major films. They are an accomplished and wonderful String Quartet, heavily involved in fund raising activities for worthy causes, bringing normally less-accessible music to small groups and local communities. Style: Instruments Played:Violin, Viola and Cello combinations. Weddings and Other Events:The Quartet are fortunate to have received many invitations to provide high quality music for weddings and other celebratory functions. They are happy to provide a customised package of music for your event. They would suggest a total duration of up to three hours of music, for the Wedding Service and early part of the Reception. | Biography:Recognised as one of London's pre-eminent light-music ensembles, the Quartet is actively involved in commercial work, maintaining a busy schedule including corporate, show-biz parties, weddings and recordings. 
But they also make time to bring first class "live" music to smaller village communities. Community work has been the cornerstone of the Quartet's philosophy, taking the initiative to bring quality live music to the people. The current programme of around 20 concerts each year has been an unprecedented success. In addition to bringing popular and interesting programmes to audiences, they have also been 'instrumental' (excuse the pun) in raising more than £10,000 for charities and good causes, and they have received special awards for their educational and rural projects. Together, members of the Quartet have performed around the world, playing for major symphony orchestras (both in the concert hall and recording studio), for London's West End Shows and for a wide variety of other assignments, including recording commercials, pop backing, and for blockbuster movies, and an invitation from the BBC to give a live performance.
International Work:The Quartet recently visited The Netherlands at the request of The Holland America Line to take part in the celebrations of their new cruise liner, for a ceremony with the Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret of the Netherlands. 
The Holland America Line employees and dignitaries from Holland and throughout Europe, along with hundreds of travel agents and past guests, commemorated the company's 130th anniversary and attended the liner's dedication during events from July 28-30th. Introductory festivities followed at Hamburg and Harwich before her sold-out maiden voyage. The Quartet were honoured to be chosen to perform at the official banquet.  The Quartet have recently been invited to travel to Istanbul, Turkey to work and perform at at Istanbul’s Bigli University.
Building on a collaboration which was sponsored by the British Council Visiting Artists Scheme and Dartford Borough Council, they will work with the students and alongside the renown Turkish Composer Selen Gulun. With a vast repertoire of music, to suit all styles, and a willingness to work with you, the are sure to make your special day a memorable success. They also offer an arranging service if there is a special song required for the wedding.
