How To Choose A String Quartet NY For Your Wedding

By William Perry


After all, you may have some music background, but not necessarily be a Chamber Music connoisseur. You can hire any music group for cheap. Just go to any local high school with a decent music program, and you'll find ensembles composed of high school students, and maybe a teacher playing the viola. That may be OK some times. But most likely, you will get a not so good music experience during your wedding ceremony. Let us focus on the following article talking more on what to look for in a String quartet NY for your wedding ceremony.

The Quartet is recommended by a professional orchestra: Visit the website of your local symphony orchestra, and most likely you will find the "Musicians for Hire" option somewhere on the web page. What this means is that the orchestra either supports or recommends small music ensembles, string groups especially, to the general public.

The thread foursome is the ideal size of the ensemble for most events ranging from a handful of guests up to a few hundred or more. The amalgamation of two cello, viola and violins, can produce a wide range of consistencies and dispositions variable from the most modest and faint to a full-bodied, rich thread complete, which transmits similarly well in small or large halls, in a tent - or even alfresco.

The available range for a cord foursome is by far the widest for any analogous size group and comprises many different harmonious types. Thread foursomes can perform music ranging from popular and traditional songs, jazz, show tunes, light music, theme tunes and operatic extracts to masterworks of the romantic, ornate and orthodox epochs.

Don't hesitate to contact the group directly with any questions and concerns regarding your ceremony. And again, take a look at member bios if possible to get a sense of individual experience levels. How large is their library of music? Do they have experience playing many different styles of music? Some groups offer additional services. For example a custom arranging service for a special piece that might not be available for string quartet.

The Thread Foursome can provide you with good references: Once you have located a Cord Foursome, you must ask for references. Any serious musician will be more than happy to give you the name and contact information of people that can recommend their services. And, just to be sure, talk to those references. Ask about the quality of the music, the punctuality, the behavior and the overall professionalism of the quartet. Hopefully, you will hear good stories. If not, find a new foursome.

The Thread Foursome can give you a private performance: Professional Cord Foursomes know that auditions are part of the business. So, ask for it. Set a time and date, and be ready to ask for samples of the music in their repertoire. If you have specific pieces of music in mind, you must tell them in advance. The musicians need time to rehearse or touch-up their music.

And if your music requests are out of their standard wedding repertoire be sure they know that. They either will suggest a similar piece instead, or they'll add your request to their repertoire. Your wedding planning is a complex and stressful task, so don't add unwanted troubles to your already busy life. Keep in mind the four tips above to hire the best String Quartet you can afford for your wedding ceremony. You will be thankful you did it when you walk down the aisle on your wedding day.
