What are the differences between a String Quartet/Trio/Duo/Solo ?

The little paragraph below will help you understand the qualities and specifics of the different ensembles we can provide for you. That should guide you a little more before making a decision

*String Quartet: Two violins, viola, and cello perform in a wide variety of musical styles. This group is the most effective and versatile, with an extensive repertoire, and full vibrant sound.


*String Quintet: adding a double bass to the quartet increases the volume by deepening the base and gives the feeling of a small orchestra-excellent for the largest parties.

*String Trio: Two violins and cello or violin, viola and cello. This group is very popular, especially for smaller weddings. Not quite as loud as the quartet, but has an extensive repertoire and is better suited for a modest budget and limited space.

*Duo: Two violins, violin and cello or any violin/viola and piano. This is very intimate ensemble, which can create a beautiful atmosphere, but has a limited volume. Excellent for smaller events and spaces

* Solo: One Violin or one Cello. This is our most affordable package. Although the main melody will lack of accompaniment, it offers a very nice touch to any celebration. It is recommended for indoor ceremony only

Note: due to the nature of the piece, the very popular “Cannon in D” can be performed as cannon with a minimum of 2 performers
