Introduction...
Southampton String Quartet will provide professional quality music for your wedding, dinner or corporate function. The quartet uses musicians of the highest quality, its players being principally music graduates, ex-members of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and seasoned professionals from the Hampshire area.
We can provide an extensive repertoire of stylish and elegant background music for all occasions. Our repertoire includes everything that you would expect a classical string quartet to be able to play, from great classics by Mozart and Haydn, as well as popular arrangements of works by Bach, Handel, Faurè, Debussy and Delibes, to name but a few. For a lighter touch we can play Theme Tunes, Ragtime, Jazz, Swing, Show Tunes and arrangements of Pop Songs. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our existing repertoire list, for a small fee (and with sufficient notice) we are happy to provide arrangements of your special requests. To listen to some audio samples and to download a full list of the pieces we can perform, please visit our Repertoire page.
The Southampton String Quartet regularly works throughout the South, including the counties of Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon and West Sussex, being prepared to travel further a field as required. In addition to the string quartet we can also provide options for a string trio, solo violinist and solo cellist. Further details can be found on our Repertoire page.
The Southampton String Quartet follows in the success of the Bath Spa String Quartet, which is based in Bath, Somerset. This highly reputable group has been established since 1998 and have performed at hundreds of weddings and functions. Our many years of experience, informs our knowledge of what makes the perfect musical accompaniment to your special day. Both the Southampton String Quartet and the Bath Spa String Quartet are directed by and played in by Michelle, the Quartet Manager, who would be happy to discuss your requirements for music across the South and South-West of England. Please note that all of our musicians are based in and around the Southampton area, though Michelle manages the quartet from her office near Bath. Our clients pay no additional agency fees on any booking that is made directly through Southampton String Quartet and ABK Music Solutions.
