Pachelbel Canon in D

Pachelbel’s Canon in D] is the most famous piece of music by German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel. It was originally scored for three violins and bass and paired with a gigue in the same key. Like most other works by Pachelbel and other pre-1700 composers, the Canon remained forgotten for centuries and was rediscovered only in the 20th century. Several decades after it was first published in 1919, the piece became extremely popular, and today it is frequently played at weddings and included on classical music compilations, along with other famous Baroque pieces such as Air on the G String by Johann Sebastian Bach.

String Duo season!

Premiere String Duo have been extremely busy this week! We started the marathon with a 4 hour booking for Nahid on Monday afternoon followed by a dinner to celebrate the end of a European project for Southampton University in the evening. We performed a small concert at the end of the meal including arrangements for String Duo of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, John Williams’ Theme from Schindler’s List and ending with Ode to Joy by Beethoven. The rest of the week was filled with lovely weddings for Chloe and Simon at Chilston Park in Lenham and a string duo booking for Emma at Northbrook Park, complete with the amazing peacocks!

We were joined by Louise on violin for a string trio booking to finish the week, playing for Rachel and James at The Walled Garden at Cowdray. They chose a special string arrangement of the Sinatra hit  ‘Love and Marriage’ as their exit music which was a great upbeat way to start their celebrations!

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!
