Review Centre: String Quartets

"Thank yous so much for your playing and support tonight. It was a tough programme for the choir but there is no doubt that your playing made life easier for them. As a quartet, the sound you make blends beautifully and, if it's at all possible, I'd love to work with you all again."

"The Ebor Quartet was one of the highlights of our wedding day! They arrived on time and were professional but lovely throughout their 3 hour booking. We were able to request 3 songs for them to learn for our ceremony, and we asked them to play their pop repertoire during the drinks reception. They played everything beautifully and were complimented by all of our guests! Before the wedding, the main email contact was Conor who was hugely helpful, responsive and clear with his answers to our questions. This quartet is a must-have for any event! "

"Dear Anne, I can't thank you enough for playing at our wedding. We valued your assistance with choosing the most appropriate music to help create the ambience we wanted to achieve - relaxed and good humoured; Mission impossible was a stroke of genius and tickled our guests positively pink! I can honestly say that Sounds Interesting Duo set the tone for our day perfectly, thank you again. Katie Moloney."

"I hired Ebor String Quartet (or trio in my case!) for my wedding and they were everything I could have hoped for and more. From the moment I messaged for a quote, Conor has been fantastic at communicating with me. With every single detail down to my last minute panic about the length of my aisle song on the morning of the wedding, they made me feel confident in them always. As I said to Conor, the one thing I’ve known I’ve always wanted for my wedding day was strings playing me down the aisle. Ebor Strings knocked it out of the park and I couldn’t be happier. A special thank you to the group for the very brief moment I had when the guests were gathering for the confetti shot, and they played Charli xcx Speed Drive for me (a song that I practically squealed at when I saw it in their repertoire). It was a moment where I really got to enjoy the music and myself, and was truly a highlight of my day. Thank you so much for your beautiful music, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone there. I would really recommend them for a stress-free and wonderful addition to any event."

"I wanted to take the time to thank you for contributing tremendously to the success of our wedding day. I have to say that the day was fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. A large part of that was due to the professionalism of our suppliers. We would be so happy to recommend your services to our friends and families for any future engagements that they have. Many of our guests did comment on how wonderful the music was during and after the ceremony. We wish you best wishes for the future and thank you once again for helping to make our special day even more special. "

"Jaya and Sarah, we can’t thank you enough for playing for us at our wedding in Jersey. The music was outstanding, and loved by all our guests. Many commented on the wide range of your repertoire and the incredible arrangements. You made the day really special. From playing on the terrace (hope it wasn’t too hot!), the beautiful music during the ceremony and throughout the wedding breakfast, the wonderful music created a warm, relaxed ambience. To anyone considering Jaya and Sarah, the Chapel Hill Duo, for any event, including a wedding- do not hesitate for a moment. They play to an incredibly high standard, with a wide range of styles from classical, pop, film themes and folk. And play all of these styles equally well. They are two extremely nice, friendly people and a complete pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend the Chapel Hill Duo highly enough. Booking the duo for your wedding is one of the wisest choices you will ever make!"

"I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you so much for yesterday! You were AMAZING, we absolutely loved your contribution to our day. The church was so special having you lead the hymns and the music at the venue was just superb, I tried to be inside as much as possible to listen! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello or thank you in person. Thanks again. "

"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!"
