OUR ADELAIDE STRING QUARTET PERFORMS THOUSANDS OF CHARTS
Prepare to be delighted by the versatility of our musicians as they showcase their ability to perform a diverse range of music genres. From the iconic classical works of Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Haydn, Handel, Schubert, and Beethoven, to the contemporary hits that have graced the airwaves from the 1950s to the present day, our repertoire knows no bounds.
For those seeking an atmosphere of romance and enchantment, our musicians can effortlessly transport you with slow, melodic tunes that tug at the heartstrings. If you’re looking for music that sparks introspection and reflection, they will deliver emotive and soul-stirring pieces that resonate deeply.
And when it’s time to let loose and celebrate, our musicians can seamlessly transition to lively and energetic music that will have your guests tapping their feet and dancing the night away. With their adaptability and keen sense of the event’s ambiance, our musicians will curate a performance that perfectly suits the mood, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all.
With a library of over 3,000 songs, we also offer jazz charts, tangos, traditional folk music from various cultures, hymns, Christmas carols, and film scores.
SPECIAL SONG REQUESTS
If your favourite song isn’t in our 3000+ library of songs, we’re more than happy to arrange it for you at no additional cost.
In fact, we’ll arrange up to three special song requests at no extra charge, guaranteeing your beloved songs are performed live exclusively for you on your important wedding day, loved-one’s funeral or other significant event.
For additional song arrangements, we charge a fee of $200 + GST per song.
CUSTOMISED BAND
At String Musicians Australia, our primary ensemble is the string quartet, but we also offer various configurations to suit our clients’ budgets, including string trios, string duos, and solo performances.
A string quartet, consisting of two violinists, a violist, and a cellist, provides the richest harmonies and fullest sound, making it our top recommendation.
A string trio comprises two violinists and a cellist, while a string duo features a violinist and cellist. Solo performances can be by a violinist, violist, or cellist, depending on the client’s preference. Please note that solo performers can only play the melody line, without harmony.
For those with an unlimited budget, we have performed as large orchestras consisting of up to forty musicians.
Ultimately, we can accommodate any request, tailoring our ensemble to your preferences and budget.
RECORDING SESSIONS
Not only do our musicians bring their exceptional skills to live events, but they are also hired regularly for recording sessions for commercial television, feature films, and student compositions.
Their experience, versatility and patience make them the ideal choice for any important recording session.
LOW-LIGHT SETTINGS
Since we read our music on our iPads, we can perform in dark and low-light settings.
we don't REQUIRE POWER
As we perform on acoustic instruments, we don’t require access to power.
As a result, our set up time is efficient and keeps our performance area safe and tidy.
WE PERFORM ACOUSTICALLY
For intimate gatherings with fewer than 80 attendees, limited spaces, or when your guests won’t engage in loud conversations, we recommend having us perform acoustically. This is ideal for wedding ceremonies, small receptions, funeral services, and wakes.
If you prefer an acoustic performance for a larger event, consider booking our string quartet solely for the initial 60-90 minutes of your occasion.
During this period, our string quartet will create the most significant impact, and your guests will be most likely to appreciate their performance. Typically, after this time, guests become more at ease with socialising, their conversations grow louder, and the string quartet becomes less prominent. We advise playing music over speakers once the quartet concludes their performance. This will also save on your cost.
WE CAN PERFORM AMPLIFIED
For large wedding receptions, celebrations and corporate events hosting more than 80 guests, expansive indoor and outdoor venues, we suggest amplification to achieve the best sound quality.
If your venue provides sound equipment to amplify the string quartet, please arrange for the sound engineer to place one microphone on a stand in front of each musician.
To guarantee optimal audio, please book us for an extra 30 minutes prior to our performance time for an important soundcheck.
WE PERFORM IN OUTDOOR SETTINGS
We are pleased to perform outdoors; however, our valuable instruments necessitate protection from direct sunlight, rain, and wind.
Appropriate outdoor venues include verandas, balconies, and decks with overhead cover, marquees, large shade umbrellas, or generous trees offering ample shade without the risk of falling foliage.
Performing on or near sand is not viable due to potential instrument damage.
In case of inclement weather, please ensure an indoor backup performance area is available.
OUR PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
We require minimal assistance from our clients.
Here are our performance requirements.
NOTEWORTHY CLIENT CARE
