WE DON’T REQUIRE POWER
We perform on acoustic instruments, which means we don’t require access to any power.
This makes our set up time efficient and keeps our performance area simple and safe.
WE PERFORM ACOUSTICALLY
For smaller gatherings with fewer than 80 attendees or functions where guests will engage in quiet conversations, we recommend having us perform acoustically. This is well-suited for wedding ceremonies, small receptions, funerals, and wakes.
If you prefer an acoustic performance for a large event, we suggest booking our string quartet only for the first 60-90 minutes of your event.
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 timeframe, guests become more at ease with socialising, their conversations grow louder, and the string quartet becomes less noticeable. We advise playing music over speakers once the string quartet concludes their performance.
WE CAN BE AMPLIFIED
For large receptions and corporate events hosting more than 80 attendees, expansive outdoor settings, or crowded spaces, we suggest amplifying our string quartet 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 hire our string quartet for an extra 30 minutes prior to their performance time for a soundcheck.
WE PERFORM OUTDOORS
We are happy to perform outdoors; however, our highly valuable instruments require protection from direct sunlight, rain, and wind.
Suitable outdoor settings include verandas, balconies, and decks with overhead cover, marquees, large shade umbrellas, or spacious trees providing ample shade without falling foliage risks.
Performing on or near sand is not feasible due to potential instrument damage.
In the event 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.
