ASQ4 (String Quartet)

Since its inception in 1996, this all female String Quartet based in London has enjoyed an increasing reputation as one of London's premier wedding string sections. Drawn from three of the capital's foremost music colleges, the individual members (all freelance musicians in their own right) have between them a wealth of experience within both the contemporary pop and classical music fields. Contemporary Music Experience In the past five years they have worked with an enormous variety of artists from Boyzone to Jools Holland, via Tindersticks, The Divine Comedy, Omar and Craig David, their involvement covering touring, festivals, recording and TV dates. They also appear on the soundtrack to the sensational film ' Mike Basset - England Manager' supporting Supergrass and Robbie Williams. Classical Music Experience The Quartet's classical pedigree is impressive. In their first year together the quartet members won full scholarships to both the Dartington International and Chilingirian Summer Schools and have subsequently studied with the Brodsky, Takacs and Schidlof Quartets. Individually they have worked regularly with many leading national orchestras performing at London's most prestigious venues, including the Albert Hall, Southbank and the Barbican. Their Background The Quartet has worked extensively for Classic FM at functions around the country and these and other function appearances have led them to venues as diverse as Fortnum and Mason, The Natural History Museum, St. James' Palace, Earls Court and The House of Lords. With such a wide experience of both classical and contemporary fields, it is no surprise that the Quartet have found themselves much in demand for high profile functions. Their beautiful presentation and careful choice of repertoire adds immeasurably to any such occasion and the quartet are happy to arrange the perfect musical scenery for weddings. The Quartet are happy to travel to any destination.
