The Quartz String Quartet's Biography

Line up: 2 x violins; 1 x viola; 1 x cello

Highlights
*Experienced high quality musicians
*Extremely varied setlist of classical and popular music
*Trio option available
*Happy to tailor the setlist to suit your needs
*Excellent value for money

When Elegance and sophistication are required the Quartz String Quartet are guaranteed to please. The members are all experienced orchestral and chamber players who combine their expertise to create a fresh and sparkling sound.

The quartet provides a personally tailored repertoire for a wedding ceremony stylish background music for a drinks reception (weather permitting on the lawn) and a tasteful touch of class for a wedding breakfast.

The Quartz String Quartet has an extensive play-list with continuously updated and improved pads containing every recognised musical genre. But you don't have to restrict yourselves to the more recognised baroque, classical, romantic or modern pieces; they are just as comfortable playing the very latest jazz and pop. If you've heard it, they'll play it.

Their long list of satisfied clients includes Aston Martin, Mercedes, Birmingham Art Gallery and Bryant Homes as well as hundreds of delighted newlyweds. You could be next!

So whether you wish to rejoice, promote or reminisce, the Quartz String Quartet has a reputation for providing professional service and will always undertake to meet any special requirements.

If your occasion is a more intimate affair, the Quartz String Trio (two violins and a cello) would be a graceful addition to the event. They provide na similar service and repertoire to that of the Quartz String Quartet, whilst still creating that distinctive refinement to the occasion.

"The Quartz String Quartet were perfect. They were helpful and provided us with additional music when asked and even came out to the garden to perform Star Wars and "You'll Never Walk Alone" without question and with ease. They were fabulous; everyone commented on them and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their music.

Alive Network provided a very easy, stress-free service. You were polite, friendly unassumptious and found us exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for your contribution to our perfectly relaxed wedding day."

The music was an important part of the day and will always be in our memories - all of our guests without exception enjoyed the experience of having live music so close and accessible. Thanks again Nick, the organisation and booking process was very efficient. Best wishes

"Hi Seth

We found the services of Alive Network and the artists they recommended an invaluable factor to our Clients Wedding. As Event Planners, it was essential to employ the services of an agency to supply artists of utmost quality, value, professionalism and reliability to assist in the smooth running of the event. From the first point of contact, their continuing customer care and ultimately to the event itself, Alive Network ensured our peace of mind with the two separate artists we selected for our Clients event in a positive, pproachable and professional manner. We would highly recommend Alive Network to provide artists for any event and will definitely use their services again.

"Hi Gemma,

Apologies for the delayed reply.

The string quartet were absolutely excellent - we were really pleased with them, they did an excellent job. I actually didn't get to hear that much of them at the time, but I can hear them on the DVD and they were great, and many of our guests commented favorably about them too. They did a great job of Achilles heel which was a really special moment for us. Please pass on our thanks and feel free to use us as a reference.

Many thanks again,

"
