Sussex Strings - String Quartet

This Sussex string quartet was formed in 1989 and has a huge amount of experience playing for functions of all kinds and weddings in particular. All four members of the quartet are conservatoire trained and have, or have had jobs with some of this country’s leading orchestras. They have amassed a huge and unique repertoire over the years.

Their work is predominantly in the South of England and London but they are also happy to travel. Some of their more prestigious venues have included: The Houses of Parliament, Blenheim Palace, Buckingham Palace, Mossiman’s and the Royal Pavilion, Brighton. 

Over the years they have appeared on commercials, pop albums and have recorded a film score.

You can rely on their experience and professionalism to add that special touch to your occasion.
