Music

Instead of sheet music, we use Samsung Galaxy tablets. There are many advantages to them: they are neat and tidy, you and your guests can choose music with ease, there is minimal delay between pieces, they enable us to quickly relocate if needed, we don’t need lighting and most importantly we can easily add new music to our ever increasing repertoire.

Our String Quartet repertoire contains over 1,000 pieces from Bach to the Killers, and everything in between, making it one of the largest collections in Britain.

The Bridgewater String Quartet and Trio has something for everyone, and if your favourite song isn’t on our list, we can have it arranged for you.

FAQs

A String Quartet comprises of four musicians: two violins, one viola and one cello. The String Trio has only three players by missing out one violin making it a perfect alternative choice for smaller venues and budgets!

If your favourite song is not already on our repertoire list, then we are able to arrange it for you at a small cost. Please note that we require at least one month’s notice for this service.

The String Quartet will require four armless chairs (or three chairs for the String Trio) set out where you wish them to play. They require a performance space of approximately 3m x 2m, and soft drinks are appreciated

The Quartet and Trio dress traditionally in all black but we can wear colours if you prefer.

The String Quartet and Trio are happy to play outdoors, usually during the drinks reception. However, they will not be able to play outdoors if there is any sign of rain, if it is too cold or windy, and will require a shaded area if there is bright sunshine. The reason for this is because of the damage it could cause to the valuable instruments.

The Bridgewater String Quartet and Trio members each have a regular deputy and also work with a small pool of talented and professional musicians. All graduated from top music conservatoires across the UK. This guarantees that you will receive a top-class performance on your big day.

Thank you so much to you and your colleagues for performing at our wedding on Monday. Our guests were singing your praises and saying how beautiful the music was. I must say, what I heard sounded absolutely wonderful. I wish you all the best for the future, and we know where to come if we ever need some magical music again.

What can I say! I can’t thank you enough for being so amazing you helped elevate our day to another level, I’m still on magical whirlwind I don’t want to get off. I’m sorry I didn’t get to give you a big hug and thank you in person. Thank you so much.

Simon & John, Iscoyd Park

Just wanted to say thank you so much for playing on our wedding day. When I heard that first song from the bridal room it made me so emotional and made it all feel real. I’m sorry I barely got a chance to see you but I heard you and it was just perfect. Can’t thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.
