String Quartet, String Trio or String Duo for Corporate Events

Strings for corporate events

Premiere strings are the professionals at providing music to create the perfect atmosphere for your next corporate event.

Please contact us with your requirements and we will tailor our set to match your theme or mood.

To help you plan your event, we have put together a list of common scenarios that our String Quartet get asked for regularly:

Receptions / Welcome Drinks

Why not greet your guests with some welcome drinks and some appropriate classical string music to set the scene!
Classical string quartet music is very sophisticated and creates a great welcoming atmosphere for your guests.

Background Music for Dinners

Light classical music and popular jazz standards often work well as background music over dinner.

Award Ceremonies

At award ceremonies string quartets are often used at the start for the welcome drinks and also through dinner. The ceremony involves movement by nominees which can take time – we can play short pieces of music to help this process to be as smooth as possible. Some sort of fanfare music is sometimes appropriate.

Openings, Promos & Product Launches

There is nothing more classy than having a string quartet perform at your store opening, promo day or product launch.
We have helped promote all kinds of products and services – remember you only have one chance to make a first impression to your customers!

If you are organising a corporate event you need a string quartet!

Peter and Gary’s Civil Partnership 12th June

Yesterday Premiere String Duo had the rare pleasure of a local date – 5 miles from home! Peter and Gary chose to hold their ceremony in Danson House, Danson Park. The house is a stunning 18th Century House with lawns overlooking a lake. A gazebo kept us shaded from the sun as the guests sipped champagne before moving on to their evening venue. Classical music including Pachelbel Canon in D and Bach Air on a G string were included in the ceremony but as we moved into the evening we lightened the mood with such numbers as Come Fly With Me, Waltz from Amelie and our own arrangement of Abba’s Mamma Mia for string duo. As we left it looked like a good time was going to be had by all!

Premiere Trio/Duo

We’ve had an overwhelming interest in our other ensembles – Premiere Trio and Premiere Duo. Maybe you feel that a string quartet would be too powerful a sound for your event or the space is slightly limited. For smaller events or budgets these combinations are an excellent alternative. Thanks to our research in obtaining music and our own special arrangements we have  a large repertoire for these ensembles.

The String Trio is made up of violin, viola and cello so you have the same range of sound as a string quartet but with one less instrument. The String Duo can be made up of different combinations – violin and cello, viola and cello (our favourite!) or even 2 cellos.  Imagine people’s surprise when they realise they can still walk down the aisle to Pachelbel’s Canon in D played live without engaging the full string quartet!

Here are some pictures of Martin and Rachel at Tina and Matthew’s wedding at Horsley Towers…

Tina sent us these pictures along with her testimonial..

“We just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding at Horsley towers on 3rd April 2010.  we didn’t get chance to talk to you on the day, but the music was wonderful.”

Other clients who have chosen the smaller groups have been really happy with the results…

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

Many people commented on how the music helped to make it such a fantastic day.   Linda & Jeremy

Thank you so much, your playing was beautiful and much appreciated. Alison

A huge thank you, I think you did an amazing job, thank you very much! Shona
