Sheffield String Quartets

Hire a Wedding String Quartet in Sheffield

Our recommended Sheffield string quartets – also available to Barnsley, Rotherham and other surrounding areas – are a popular choice for wedding breakfasts, wedding processions and wedding receptions since the sense of occasion and importance the music creates, coupled with the musicians' smart formal attire, adds a great deal to the specialness of your big day (as do their beautiful renditions of such processional pieces as Wagner's Bridal Chorus and Beethoven's Ode to Joy). However, birthday parties, drinks receptions, private dinner functions, garden parties, graduations, awards ceremonies, charity and corporate events can be just as important, and a spruced up string quartet in Sheffield will be just as much of an asset to the success of events such as these.

Sheffield Wedding Duos and Trios

The traditional arrangement of a string quartet, as devised by Haydn in the mid-18th century, consists of two violins, a viola and a cello. If, however, you feel your budget, venue or audience size wouldn't merit a full quartet, you will find Bands for Hire's musicians to be flexible and accommodating, not to mention very obliging, to your needs, and with due notice, can appear as a string duo, a string trio, or a string ensemble.

Our string quartets for hire in Sheffield have quite a selection of pieces to perform for your – Morning Mood from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt suite, excepts from Gustav Holst's suite the Planets, and a multitude of traditional and Celtic folk, Bollywood, tangoes and jazz standard from the Great American Songbook. Their repertoires are also constantly being expanded by modern pop and rock songs such as Are You Mine? by Arctic Monkeys, Common People by Pulp, Bad by Michael Jackson, Town Called Malice by the Jam and Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, plus numerous themes from beloved television shows, films and musicals, including Dad's Army, Titanic, the Pink Panther, Cats!, Thunderbirds, Les Miserables and Star Wars – there'll be something to appeal to all tastes and ages. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any queries.
