Review Centre: Classical Ensembles

"I was so glad to book the quartet. They were accommodating, professional and played at a very high standard. In spite of it being 'flaming June', the weather was cold and wet so performing outside was something of a challenge! My guests would have remained listening for a further two hours if they had the chance. The performance turned a pleasant birthday lunch party into an extraordinary one, thank you."

"You were absolutely brilliant; I loved hearing you play the tunes we had selected for our ceremony itself and then to have you playing in the sunshine in the gatehouse gardens while we mingled and chatted to our friends with our fizz was wonderful. So many of our guests commented to us on how great you were and how lovely it was to hear a mix of modern and classical pieces being played so beautifully. A very personal thank you from me for playing my favourite song (One Day Like this; Elbow) twice for me, I knew that I wanted to walk out to it but I knew that I would be able to hear it all and I wanted to stand and appreciate it too. As it happened we had been whisked away into the Castle ruins to have our pictures taken when I heard you start playing it again and walking back through the castle and its formal gardens listen to my song on your beautiful instruments was a very special part of our day that I'll never forget. I would definitely wholeheartedly recommend you, you made our drinks reception feel very special. "

"We'd like to thank Warwickshire Strings for their amazing performance and perfect timing as Dawn and her bridesmaids came down the aisle! They were very professional and tailored everything for our day. We'd highly recommend this duo. Many Thanks."

"A great addition to our special day!! Astri Strings played beautifully for our ceremony, in what is quite a nervous an emotional time the ladies played songs that mean a lot to me and my wife and really made the ceremony exactly what we had dreamed of. Jude was excellent ahead of the event, ensuring we had the perfect song list and timings for the day. A number of our guests also commented on how lovely the music was. Many thanks Dec 23 "

"I was so pleased to have the Scherzando string trio play at my wedding on 25 March. I was genuinely moved as we were announced husband and wife and they played the piece we had selected. It was a really special and beautiful moment for me."

"Where were you on Wednesday 25th May at 6pm? If the answer is anywhere but at Gratot church, you missed a treat! The people who were in the audience were richly entertained by a trio of talented musicians who freely gave of their time in order to raise funds in support of Ukraine. The programme was widely varied and featured Irene Donnelly (who sang in four languages, no mean feat ) , hitting some incredibly high notes, and violinist/violist Anne Tupling who played with a mellifluous or exciting tone as demanded by the different genres of music.  The concert started appropriately with Ukrainian folk music by Verchovino, featuring all three performers, in which you could sense the stamping of boots and clapping of hands, portrayed by the strong rhythmic beat. This set the high standard for the rest of the evening. We were treated to music by composers ranging from Handel to Gershwin, Puccini to Cole Porter, and also to the haunting Ashokan Farewell (written 40 years ago by the American composer, Jay Ungar), played with great sensitivity by Anne. This was possibly my favourite performance in the musical pot pourri. The evening was a resounding success and raised the wonderful sum of £600 to go to help those who have lost so much. Thank you for organising the event and bravo to the musicians for a memorable evening. You seemed to enjoy performing as much as we enjoyed listening. Encore please!"
