About / Biography

About Us

The 4Strings Quartet was formed in 2012 by professional string players who have between us played thoughout the UK, Europe and the Rest of the World. Both the string quartet and string duo are based in Portsmouth but are available for weddings, corporate events and private parties throughout southern England. Both ensembles offer a large repertoire of music covering every musical genre from classical to jazz to folk to pop and we are sure to have just the right music to bring an added touch of sophistication to your event.

We specialise in providing quality music for weddings. We can provide music for the wedding service or ceremony, the drinks reception or the wedding breakfast or for any combination of these wedding elements. We will tailor our music to meet your specific requirements and if we don't have your absolute favourite piece of music in our repertoire we will try to source this for you or we can offer an arrangement service. In addition, we provide music for corporate events and our clients have included The Royal Navy, The Army, Goodwood House, Denplan Ltd, Shire Pharmaceuticals and McCarthy and Stone. We can also be hired for all types of private parties.
