The Manchester String Quartet have extensive experience providing music for weddings, corporate events and other functions.
With a wide repertoire of jazz, blues, pop, and Bollywood theme tune arrangements, the quartet are able to tailor their set for a wide range of occasions; their selection of jazz and themes from musicals are a great accompaniment to your meal or drinks receptions, and their more traditional baroque and classical works are perfect for wedding ceremonies.
The quartet was formed in 2000 by graduates of the Royal Northern College of Music. In addition to numerous wedding engagements in venues across the UK, they have played for the Lord Mayor of Manchester, entertained dignitaries at the Paralympic games and UEFA, and recently gave a series of concerts in Zambia. Corporate clients include the Royal Bank of Scotland, House of Fraser, Sainsburys, Cheadle, CIPFA and GMex.
