16 Strings and a Touch of Class: String Quartet for Hire in Canberra

It’s a stylish experience, a breath of fresh air, a relief from the everyday racket of pop music, and it can give an atmosphere to an event that makes it more refined but still fun.

What’s the Story of String Quartets?
The term can refer to the musical unit itself or to a piece written specifically to be played by that line-up. The development of the string quartet is generally credited to the 18th century Austrian composer, Joseph Haydn, so naturally, some of his works are part of the repertoire you might hear from a Canberra string quartet, but many other composers liked the style and wrote specially for it. From Mendelssohn and Mozart to Beethoven and Tschaikovsky plenty of the great names contributed to the form.
What if I or My Guests know Nothing about Classical Music?
You don’t need to know anything about classical music to enjoy it. There is so much music in the world now that classical has become a minority interest, but one thing is for certain: you will recognise many of the tunes.
In addition, musicians for hire with a sense of fun have the skill and talent to give you a string quartet version of virtually anything. Movie themes are always popular such as All You Need is Love, Love is in the Air and Unchained Melody: you’d be surprised what these people can knock out, so when you hire a string quartet in Canberra, it’s worth asking them if they can give you a certain unlikely number to make your guests smile.
