Crystal Palace String Quartet |
The Crystal Palace String Quartet was founded by graduates of Britain's top music colleges. Our shared passion for chamber music allowed us to acquire an extensive repertoire and to gain experience in providing live music for all kinds of events, ranging from weddings, civil partnerships, parties and corporate functions to band music, sessions, and TV. Our repertoire ranges from baroque to pop and covers nearly every imaginable genre in between. We mainly play for events in London and the Southeast but are willing to travel anywhere within the UK. We are also active on the concert platform, performing public recitals in London and the Southeast. Past bookings include a three week tour of the Mediterranean with Saga Cruise Lines, weddings at Clearwell Castle (Gloucestershire), Coltsford Mill (Surrey) and the Institute of Directors (London), a garden party at the BBC Television Centre and a recording session with pop group The Nites. The string quartet is the ideal size of ensemble for most events ranging from a handful of guests up to a few hundred or more. The combination of two violins, viola and cello can create a wide range of textures and moods varying from the most subtle and delicate to a full, rich string sound, which carries equally well in small or large halls, outdoors, or in a marquee. The available repertoire for string quartet is by far the most extensive for any comparable size group, and encompasses many different musical genres. String quartets can perform music ranging from popular and traditional songs, light music, jazz, show tunes, and operatic extracts to masterworks of the baroque, classical and romantic eras. We have performed at a wide variety of events for audiences that have included past and current presidents, prime ministers and senior royalty. |
