London, England
Classic combination of 2 violins, viola and cello able to play our full repertoire of songs from many genres of music.
A great group of musicians who made my brother's 50th birthday party truly memorable. We wanted to add some fun and whimsy to the event, but the venue limited us strictly to non-amplified music, 4 musicians, strings only. Normally you might think of a string quartet as a little stuffy or buttoned-up, but their diverse repertoire kept things lively and fun. From the Star Wars theme to Queen to more traditional standards, City String Ensemble kept things upbeat and even a little frivolous, despite being "just" a string quartet. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.
If you want to be moved by music hire these musicians. It is clear to see they all are so very passionate about playing. Some of my guests, including myself, were moved to tears but then quickly brought back up to euphoria with an upbeat jazzy tune. They are worth every penny. Treat yourself and the people that are important to you to City String Ensemble. Their take on pop music is refreshing and relevant.
I hired this group to play as a four string quartet at my wedding. They were such a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and attention to detail made planning and preparing for my wedding much easier and much more fun. They played all the songs we requested and even arranged some song requests for us at a low cost. During the event they played absolutely beautifully. I received so many compliments on their set and people are still talking about their performance. If you're hosting an event, I highly suggest you work with this team of talented and professional musicians.
