The Leicestershire String Quartet
This act can provide you with a string quartet, string trio, or string duo for your special function and have a pool of highly trained professional musicians with many years of experience who come together to provide quality music for many different types of occasions. All the players trained at The Royal Academy of Music in London or one of the other prestigious music colleges.
The quartet, always a popular choice, consists of 2 violins, viola and cello, the trio is violin, viola and cello. This is a slightly quieter sound than the quartet as there is one player fewer. People sometimes choose this option if they are tight on space. The string duo is violin and cello, again useful if space is an issue and popular for smaller gatherings.
All the players have a wide experience of many different areas in the music profession including professional orchestral sessions with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, The Halle Orchestra, The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, The English String Orchestra, The English Symphony Orchestra, Scarborough Spa Orchestra and Orchestra Sinfonica D’ell Emilia Romagna as well as enjoying the smaller medium of chamber music.
The music they play is light classical or arrangements of more popular styles and they cover events such as civil weddings, church weddings, receptions, wedding breakfasts, civil partnerships, and parties, all sorts of corporate events, launch parties, christenings, wedding anniversaries, car showrooms, house showrooms, and birthday celebrations.
They normally wear the usual musicians’ wardrobe of black, so not clashing with any colours people are wearing - especially at weddings. Any men playing will either wear a DJ or a black shirt depending on how formal the occasion. Sometimes they may wear black coupled with another colour.

Thank you so much for the wonderful musical accompaniment to our champagne reception ..... Everyone commented on how fabulous the string quartet was, they really made the atmosphere quite special.
Thank you for being there on our wedding day and playing such wonderful music. It really did add that special touch to our day.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to you for helping to make our Day such a memorable and special occasion. You played beautifully, and my only regret was not getting to speak to any of you in person.
I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you very much for coming to Belvoir Castle and giving such a marvellous performance. I stood at the door of the Castle as people were leaving, and there can be no doubt that everyone leaving had thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Thank you very much for the excellent and beautifully performed music you gave us last Sunday. From the comments we received, it went down extremely well with our guests . . . We will certainly recommend you, if the opportunity arises.

I am writing to thank you for your participation in the Belvoir by candlelight evenings. The performances were so completely amazing this year. The standard just gets better and better with each year that passes…without fail the performances were considered to be of the highest quality and carried out with superb professionalism by all concerned…Once again many thanks.

Dear Geoff, I had intended sending you an e-mail before now, but we had another party yesterday for my husband and then my brother-in-law who has been staying with us celebrated his 80th birthday today so we had another small family get-together. I cannot thank you enough for all your help in getting a string quartet for us for last Wednesday. They all were delightful people, well dressed and discreet. They played for the time we asked with short breaks for our granddaughter to perform. I would recommend them to anyone planning a party or wedding etc. and I would certainly mention your name. I do not suppose we will have many celebrations in the near future but, if we do, I will certainly contact you.
