Dynamic, vibrant, and exciting corporate & wedding string quartet who trained at London’s most prestigious music conservatoires and recently joined Madness on their UK tour.
A hugely versatile and experienced quartet, Sorrento have performed throughout the UK and Europe and even entertained Royalty.
In the short time since graduating from prestigious music colleges Royal Academy of Music & Guildhall in 2009, they've joined Madness on their UK tour, performed to thousands (at the O2 Arena) and worked with the Lightning Seeds and Richard Ashcroft (The Verve). In addition to this they've toured the cruise ships (Saga), delighted audiences at weddings and prestigious corporate events up and down the country and performed at venues as diverse as The Royal Albert Hall, the Wigmore Hall and Glastonbury. Their TV work to date includes The X Factor, Popstar to Operastar, GMTV, and Top of the Pops. The quartet excel in both classical and contemporary settings.
Professional, stylish and excellent value for money, The Sorrento String Quartet are fast becoming one of the most sought after string quartets in London.
