Tailoring your string ensemble
Our Extensive Repertoire
Whether you book our quartet or trio, you want music that perfectly fits your event. Fortunately, our musicians are seasoned sight-readers—honed by years in professional orchestras—so we can tackle virtually any piece provided we have the sheet music in advance.
Moreover, we pride ourselves on maintaining one of the largest quartet repertoires and the largest trio repertoires in the UK. However, if you don’t see your favourite tune listed, don’t worry—here’s how we make your ideal playlist come to life.
We always begin by searching for free, professionally published sheet music. For instance, we source from IMSLP’s public domain library IMSLP Petrucci Music Library.
Thanks to extensive online libraries and publisher partnerships, most popular and classical works incur no additional fee beyond our performance rate.
However, when a free version isn’t available—perhaps for a niche film score or contemporary crossover piece—we work with trusted arrangers. Arrangement costs typically range from £10–£20 per piece. This ensures you hear the exact melody and harmonies you love, tailored for string quartet or trio.
Commissioning Custom Work
For truly unique requests—such as transforming your wedding march into a bespoke waltz or creating a medley of special songs—we offer custom arrangements at a flat rate of £45. Custom work can include:
- Transcribing instrumental solos or vocals into string parts
- Reharmonising sections to suit different moods or keys
- Adding personalised intros or codas for memorable moments
With each custom commission, you’ll receive a draft score for review. We refine the arrangement until it perfectly matches your vision and performs beautifully.
Trio Conversions & Hymn Performances
We also convert quartet pieces into trio format—ideal for intimate venues or smaller gatherings—available for a small additional charge.
Additionally, if you need a hymn arrangement, simply send us a clear photo of the hymn-book page. We’ll transcribe and arrange it so your favourite hymn seamlessly integrates into our programme, ensuring a harmonious performance.
