Yorkshire String Quartets

Yorkshire String Quartets

You've booked the fancy venue, planned the mouth-watering menu, drafted up the beautifully worded invitations – now all that's left to organise is the entertainment, and nothing entertains with quite the same sense of elegance and class as a Yorkshire string quartet from Bands for Hire. Counting among them some of the top pupils of the forerunners in the classical field, many of whom having gone on to grace the stage at the Royal Albert Hall, St James Palace and the Royal College of Music, you can be certain of our Yorkshire string quartets' considerable abilities – and they're available to you at a highly competitive rate.

Hire a Wedding String Quartet in Yorkshire

Wagner's Bridal Chorus, Pachelbel's Canon in D, Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons concerti – these are all picture perfect soundtracks to the bride's procession down the aisle, and rarely sound better than when performed by our local string quartets in Yorkshire. Aside from wedding processions and wedding receptions, our Yorkshire string quartets are also equally at home playing garden parties, graduations, awards ceremonies, private dinner functions, drinks receptions, charity or corporate events.

Our Yorkshire string quartets are available across North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, including the towns and cities of Barnsley, Batley, Bradford, Bridlington, Castleford, Dewsbury, Doncaster, Halifax, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Keighley, Kingston upon Hull, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Rotherham, Scarborough, Sheffield and Wakefield.

While it's true that a large portion of our Yorkshire string quartets' repertoires are dedicated to classical and romantic music, composed by such maestros as Handel, Bach and Strauss, your more modern-minded guests needn't worry – there'll be music from across the board. You'll have contemporary hits like Are You Mine? By Arctic Monkeys, Mr Blue Sky by ELO, Common People by Pulp and Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, beloved songs from the earlier half of the 20th century including Stand By Me by Ben E. King, You're the Top by Cole Porter and La Vie En Rose by Edith Piaf and unmistakable themes from sitcoms, movies and stage shows such as the Pink Panther, Star Wars, Blackadder, Phantom of the Opera and Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as various traditional and Celtic folk, operatic arias, Jewish and Bollywood compositions.

Yorkshire Wedding Duos and Trios

The tried and tested form a string quartet takes consists of two violinists, a violist and a cellist. There are, however, many varieties of event that our string quartets in Yorkshire perform at – great and small, extravagant and modest – so, accordingly, all our musicians remain flexible and accommodating to every client's needs. If a Yorkshire string quartet wouldn't suit your budget or venue, our musicians are also available to hire as string duos, string quartets and string ensembles of larger sizes. Please don't hesitate to send us any queries – it's our mission to find you the perfect Yorkshire string quartet for your event.

For more live music options you may also be interested in our range of Yorkshire jazz bands and Yorkshire wedding bands.

Bands For Hire Reviews
★★★★★

The Bands For Hire service was very prompt and efficient. I specifically chose Olympia Ensemble as I loved their modern, fresh sound and the wide range of music that they offered. Some quartets are 'stuffy' and old fashioned - not Olympia Ensemble! Everything was perfect from start to finish - they gave us a huge range of music, from classical, jazz and pop, there was something for everyone.
