Review Centre: String Quartets

"Athena were amazing. Clearly skilled musicians and play brilliantly together. They certainly went the extra mile for us last night. Everything was executed perfectly with backing tracks timed to perfection. Having live strings was a total success. I would be delighted to recommend them without reservation."

"Nicola and Laura played for my wedding (both cellists), at the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. String Musicians have made it so easy and stress free for myself, during the planning and also on the wedding day. Once I told them what I wanted for the music (from the style of music to specific pieces), I did not need to worry about anything else. They worked with the registrar from the council to coordinate cues during the ceremony, so the transition between music pieces was seamless. Many guests commented how well they played throughout the day! Thank you!"

"We booked the string duo on 17th August 2019 and they were fantastic. The music was beautiful and they were so easy to work with we didn't have to do anything, which was incredibly helpful. We would highly recommend Magenta Strings to others looking to book a string duo or quartet."

"Our Wedding guests loved EM Strings. They played beautifully during the intimate ceremony and again for the drinks reception afterwards. They were the highlight of my day and brought much joy to the atmosphere, including dressing the part for our very special day. I fell in love with the group from the start because of their unique repertoire and they did not disappoint!"

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding last weekend. Although I only got to hear a few pieces myself, the ones I heard were wonderful & many of our guests commented on how good the music you played was. We requested you play Nightswimming by REM, a piece not previously in your repertoire. The version you played was exactly what we wanted, so thank you. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a string quartet for a future event."

"The string quartet sounded absolutely beautiful and made the ceremony extremely lovely! We and all the guests we talked to have nothing but positive things to say about you and the quartet, it sounded amazing and the songs choice was excellent! Many people commented on the tracks they recognized and enjoyed. We also truly appreciate the extra effort you've put to work with Gabe and Phil, it made the ceremony so personal and it couldn't have been done without your support, so we thank you very much. Best of luck to you and your colleagues! "

"Ariana played at our wedding reception in June 2016. They were absolutely brilliant in every respect. There was good communication prior to the event. The quartet presented a highly enjoyable selection of music which entirely met our expectations. The members of the quartet displayed virtuosity, professionalism and good humour."

"The International Klezmer Collective gave an intimate and captivating performance to a sold-out crowd. From start to finish the audience were engaged with their presence, humour and music. It was evident the two are deeply connected to the music they perform and the unique twist on the traditional tunes was the creative interplay and relationship between Fran and Flora. We look forward to having them back again"
