The act is based in South London, but perform all over the South of England.
The Stretto Quartet are a group of full-time professional musicians, with experience in London's finest Orchestras, recording studios and the West End theatres. They originally met up and got together on a tour of India and on their travels also picked up a player in Canada.
As well as playing as a quartet they have also individually appeared in Phantom of the Opera in the West End, on screen in the film of Les Miserables, and with the Welsh National Opera. The quartet are proud of their wide ranging, eclectic repertoire, encompassing standard classical works, jazz and pop covers, from Bach to Britney and everything in between. An ideal act for background music at weddings or corporate events.
Client Reviews
"We booked The Stretto Quartet for our gala dinner on the last night of an international conference. They complimented Queen’s college perfectly and delighted our guests with their mix of classic and modern music. The booking process was easy and were great to work with."
-- Laura, Marketing Executive
"Really did a wonderful job at our wedding, fabulous playing, they set the tone brilliantly. We had so many comments about what excellent musicians they are."
-- Claire, Bride
"These guys were perfect. We had so many compliments and they absolutely smashed it both in the church and at the reception. Thank you so much for making our special day even more special!!!"
-- Andi, Bride
"Our experience with Stretto String Ensembles was top quality throughout. Communication was excellent and they arrived on time and as described. The two musicians were fabulous and extremely talented. They were a perfect addition to a fabulous wedding day."
-- Lou, Bride
"One of the best things we did at our wedding was to hire the Stretto Quartet, not only are you wonderful musicians but you were so effortless and professional to deal with. With all the things involved in getting married it’s so nice to deal with people who just get it done (and get it done well!). The amount of people who commented how great you guys were was huge. We absolutely loved having you there. The music for both the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast was nothing but perfect. You truly set the tone for our memorable day and helped to make it such a perfect occasion. I can’t recommend you highly enough, if you want a quartet at your event then none other would be better than the Stretto Quartet."
