Hampshire String Quartets

Hampshire String Quartets

We at Bands for Hire are delighted to offer a wide range of highly talented musicians, and our Hampshire string quartets illustrate this with unparalleled grace and beauty. Always a popular choice for both wedding processions and receptions, our string quartets bring an air of class and tradition to any event. Well versed in Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert amid countless other classical composers, our local Hampshire string quartets will soothe the souls of your guests as they serenade them with suites and sonatas.

Hampshire String Ensembles

We supply string quartets all over Hampshire, including Aldershot, Andover, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Fareham, Farnborough, Fleet, Gosport, Havant, Locks Heath, Portsmouth, Southampton, Totton, Waterlooville and Winchester. Wherever you find yourself in the county, we can facilitate your special occasion.

Our string quartets in Hampshire incorporate a pleasing blend of the old and the new into their sets. One minute you're being treated to the delightful melodies of Morning Mood taken from Edvard Grieg's beloved Peer Gynt, and the next you hear the unmistakable first few notes of Thunderbirds striking up. Our Hampshire String Quartets are equally adept at performing Vivaldi, Tachikovsky, Bach and Saint-Saens as they are at such diverse pop and rock hits by the Beatles, the Darkness, Guns 'n' Roses, the Ramones, Neil Diamond, Coldplay and ABBA. You’ll also be pleasantly surprised to hear beloved theme music from such movies and shows as Diamonds are Forever, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Pink Panther, Star Wars and Fawlty Towers.

A Hampshire string ensemble will also suit such significant events as graduations, awards ceremonies, canapés and drinks receptions, charity and corporate events and garden parties. If you want to formalise your event as a significant celebration to remember, a string quartet will provide you with the appropriate music to illustrate its importance and remain prominently in the memories of your guests.

Hampshire String Duos and Trios

A typical quartet will employ the talents of two violinists accompanied by a violist and cellist, although depending on the space and budget, they may also be hired in smaller line-ups to create a string duo or string trio. For further information on prices and performance times, please get in touch with details about your event.

If you're organising a wedding or other event in Hampshire, you may also like to consider one of our talented Hampshire acoustic bands for background music during the daytime or perhaps one of our lively Hampshire wedding bands for your evening's entertainment.

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.
