If requested we would be delighted to perform outside. The British weather however presents its own unique set of challenges at all times of the year. Being a professional quartet/ ensemble we perform using expensive instruments which can have a combined value of £100,000 or more. The instruments, sheet music, stands and musicians must be protected from wind, UV rays (Sun) and rain, making outside cover required. A marquee, awning, large umbrella, extended canopy or the inside of a doorway are acceptable. To perform under a tree is not acceptable cover. Level ground, protection from high winds, adequate lighting and four chairs without arms are also necessary. For string players in normal playing attire (orchestral dress), the normal ambient outside performance temperature undercover is between 18°C and 26°C. Outside of these temperature parameters, additional heating or cooling or may be required. Cooling may come in the form of a natural breeze, fan, or even an air-conditioning unit. Heating may come in the form of a heater. The decision whether to perform outside will be made by the musicians at the time of performance and you agree that their decision will be final. Performances may be moved indoors due to weather conditions. We do not supply cover, cooling or heating equipment of any kind. Supplying these is the responsibility of the hirer.

We can obtain it for you! We offer a professional music arrangement service for pieces which we don’t have in our repertoires. We would normally require 1 months notice, and there would be an arrangement fee charged by the professional arranger for this service. Please contact us for further information.

Pricing corresponds to the level of professionalism and experience. We offer a unique service and own the largest string quartet repertoire we know of in The UK. Underlying this, is many years of national and international performances as individual musicians. The result of our level of professionalism will be more than evident at your function. We are confident and capable in any setting from church services to corporate events.

We would normally take a 15 minute break for every two hours booked. For example during a four hour booking we would take one 15 minute break at a convenient time so as not to disrupt your event. For a two hour booking we would not take any breaks unless we were requested to perform as two, one hour sets.
