Beautiful Music for Any Gathering
Andante Strings has a wealth of experience when it comes to selecting appropriate repertoire for your event. We can provide as much or as little guidance as you require and will customize the program to meet your needs and specifications. Provided below is a small sampling of the selections you might choose to complement your gathering - just a taste of the variety we offer. If there is a special song you would like, we will do our best to accommodate! Besides a varied repertoire, we offer you ensemble sizes to meet every vision and budget without compromising quality. Though we primarily perform as a quartet, we can fit a more intimate occasion with a smaller ensemble or solo instrumentalist. If you’re unsure, please ask!
Quartet
Comprised of two violinists, a violist, and a cellist, a string quartet creates a well-balanced, full, and timeless sound suitable for any event. As a quartet, Andante Strings performs all of the standard wedding music as well as classical quartet literature, pop and Broadway music, tangos and waltzes - we can accommodate most requests.
