One of our most memorable performances was at Union Chapel, London, where we performed live string music in its stunning acoustic setting. The atmosphere of the venue and the connection with the audience made it an unforgettable experience for us as an ensemble.

We’re influenced by a wide range of music, from classical composers such as Bach and Debussy to film music and contemporary arrangements. We also love performing jazz and swing-inspired repertoire, drawing inspiration from artists like Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Duke Ellington. Our favourite pieces are those that translate beautifully to strings, and Auld Lang Syne remains one of the most timeless melodies ever written.

We began performing together as professional string players and naturally moved into live events as our ensemble developed. Alongside performances, we also have experience in session work, recording projects, and concerts with a wide range of other artists. Since then, we’ve performed at private events, corporate functions, weddings, and studio sessions, providing elegant live music tailored to each occasion.
