The Leeds String Quartet - String Quartet

The Leeds String Quartet is a highly professional, experienced quartet which specialises in providing elegant string music of the highest quality for weddings, events, parties and corporate functions throughout Yorkshire and the North East.  

The players of The Leeds String Quartet are all professional musicians who are established chamber music and orchestral players. All of the quartet members have spent many years playing across Europe with the top British orchestras, such as The Philharmonia, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, English National Opera, and of course, the Orchestra of Opera North.  

On occasion, when individual members of The Leeds String Quartet are committed elsewhere, they draw on a small group of carefully selected guest players in addition to our founder members.  

The Leeds String Quartet have a huge repertoire which ranges from wedding favourites and classical music to pop, jazz and show songs. They can also respond to requests for a particular style or type of music if that is what your guests would prefer. 

The Leeds String Quartet would be very happy to discuss your event. For your peace of mind we carry full Public Liability Insurance and we always provide a hardcopy contract for our services. 

This experienced quartet are equally at home on the recital platform or providing a unique ambience for your special event. They can put together a classical recital programme that is carefully chosen to reflect a range of classical and contemporary music.  Their extensive repertoire includes a broad range of classical, pop, jazz, TV and film repertoire and they always aim to play a mixture of all types of music in order to cater for a wide range of tastes and ages. 

If you have a request for a particular piece of music, check with us to see if it is on their full repertoire list.  Music that is not on our repertoire list can sometimes be sourced or arranged for you at additional cost.
