WE TRAVEL FAR AND WIDE
We typically travel up to 3.5 hours by car from the CBD for performances.
We can accommodate further distances if required, but please note that our fee will increase to cover additional travel expenses.
Our Perth string quartet travels to Fremantle for wedding ceremonies and funeral services.
ALL FUNCTION TYPES
A string quartet elevates any occasion, enhancing the ambience as guests arrive.
The sophisticated touch of a quartet leaves a lasting impression, making every event unforgettable.
Explore the diverse function types we’ve performed at, including weddings, funerals and other important events, showcasing the unique appeal of our musical talents.
OUR PERTH STRING QUARTET HAS AN EXTENSIVE MUSIC LIBRARY
We proudly provide an expansive collection of over 3,000 songs, featuring popular contemporary hits from the 1950s to the present day, as well as enduring compositions from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras.
Moreover, our repertoire comprises tangos, hymns, folk melodies, jazz compositions, and celebratory carols. With our diverse musical selections, we cater to all preferences and occasions!
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 accommodate up to three special requests at no extra charge, guaranteeing your cherished songs are performed live exclusively for you on your wedding day, for your loved one’s funeral or other important occasion.
For additional song arrangements, we charge a fee of $200 + GST per song.
CUSTOM-TAILORED 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, FEATURE FILMS AND COMPOSITIONS
Not only do our talented performers bring their exceptional skills to live events, but they also lend their expertise to recording sessions for commercial television, feature films, and student compositions.
Their patience, experience and versatility make them the ideal choice for any 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
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, funeral services, 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 wedding receptions, celebrations and corporate events hosting more than 80 attendees, expansive indoor and 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.
Please read our performance requirements.
OUTSTANDING CLIENT CARE
We acknowledge the crucial need for seamless coordination on the day of your wedding, your loved-one’s funeral or other significant event, and our duties extend beyond delivering stunning live music; we also promise a smooth experience from our side. By choosing our services, you can rest assured that we will handle all music-related aspects, allowing you to attend to your guests.
Upon reaching out to us, one of our professional musicians will serve as your dedicated point of contact all the way up until your function date, reducing the risk of miscommunication.
We respond to emails and missed calls within 24 hours and are accessible seven days a week, ensuring you receive the care you deserve.
Please note that while we offer unlimited assistance via email and phone, in-person consultations are charged at an hourly rate of $200 + GST.
