Review Centre: String Quartets

"Dear Anne I had a great time on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed working with the orchestra and catching up with players from previous concerts. The orchestra really were responsive – especially the strings – and when rehearsal time is so short I felt that we were able to get straight down to the details which was very good.

"Simply brilliant. No fuss, turned up early to set up on time. Sounded absolutely fantastic. Despite the nerves I heard all our chosen tracks being played. Can’t recommend this string quartet enough. They made an already special day extra special. Thanks so much."

"I booked the quartet for my wedding. From the outset, they were very professional. They have an extensive repertoire but were also willing to arrange a song for us that was not on their list. On the wedding day, they were amazing and even played outside whilst we had canapés and took pictures. I would highly recommend them; these beautiful young ladies are going to go far."

"I tried something new with the edit as the lighting was very difficult to work with. I love the first one of you playing ? Then same edit on the one with you all together. Finished with a soft black and white one. I thought you were all stunning and really amazing at what you do. Take care Hollie Victoria - ( Fervent Capture )"

"Dear Anne, Thank you so much for organising a splendid orchestra for me on Saturday night. Thank you also for your dedication to the music. It is always a pleasure to work with you. You are such an asset to the community! The orchestral players are such a nice bunch of people to work with and it is great to have many of the same players back over and over again. As usual it was a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you for bringing the Cherubini to life for us. The orchestral colour adds so much to what is a rarely performed work and you did it superbly. We were very privileged to have such a talented pianist for the Tchaikovsky Concerto, which I know is also a challenge for the orchestra to play, especially with only an hour and a quarter to rehearse it! - But we did it and the audience were thrilled - the standing ovation was testament to that. As ever it was a pleasure to work with you all. All the best. "

"We booked The Craxton String Quartet for our wedding on 10th June 2023. We were so impressed with the performance of the string quartet, the music was absolutely wonderful and it made our ceremony more magical than we could ever imagine. Molly was even able to cater to our request for a very specific and niche song for the wedding aisle as I walked down; a song which was very special to myself and husband which has created a core memory we will never forget. We had so many guests come up to us afterwards and rave about the performance; the string quartet was a bit of a surprise for our guests and as they arrived at our venue they were greeted by the most outstanding music which set the scene for the whole day. The guests loved the variety of music that was played, and they especially loved the 'I recognise this song' moments! I will never forget The Craxton String Quartet, booking them was one of the best decisions we ever made for our big day. Thank you Molly and Co! "

"Just wanted to say how wonderful it was to have you play at my birthday party on Sunday. Your music was very much appreciated and really added to the atmosphere of the event. Thank you that as soon as the quizzes and speeches were over you very sensitively began playing and everyone was enjoying your music until the end. I have had good feedback on the do and everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves so I am delighted with how it all came together. Thank you so much for your part of making it such a special occasion.

"Element were a dream to work with for my father's surprise 60th. I chose them because of the repertoire and yet when I requested a song that was not on the song list they were quick to put it together just for our event. On the night, they slipped in amidst the chaos of 120 people, they prepared and were ready to play. The schedule had to be changed a few times on the night and they were flexible and professional throughout...and then they played. It was beautiful. One of my Uncles stood up involuntarily during Nessun Dorma to look closer and my father repeatedly leant over the dinner table to remark on how wonderfully they played. I could not recommend the Element string Quartet highly enough, but I will certainly try! 6th December 2017"
