About the String Duo

The String Duo can be made up of different combinations – violin and cello, viola and cello (our favourite!) or even 2 cellos.  People are surprised when they realise they can still walk down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D played live without having a full string quartet. Not all venues are able to cope with the space required for a string quartet. Also with a smaller number of guests a string quartet is sometimes not necessary, you can be pleasantly surprised to hear how the trio and duo can project.

If you had a particular piece in mind that's not on our list we can look into finding it or making a classical duo arrangement for you. We are experienced arrangers and most pieces will work well for any combination.

Thanks so much for performing at our wedding.  You and your duo partner did a fantastic job and added beautifully to what turned out to be a perfect day for Emma & me. Loads of our guests paid you great compliments.  The word ‘outstanding’ was used more than once!  Emma says it really made the ceremony so much more special, and I agree totally. Karen Jones
