    About this Act

    The Craxton String Quartet was formed in 2018 by Molly Craxton, formerly a scientist, now a full-time musician. They can offer solo violin, duo, trio as well as the quartet string ensemble. The quartet ensemble can present the widest range of music in order to set the right mood for the occasion. A string quartet is visually engaging and satisfying for the players as well as the listeners and viewers. 

    The Craxton String Quartet appear as a classical ensemble, professionally clad in black. We supply our own stands, chairs and lighting. Unless suitably protected from the elements, they prefer to play indoors. Molly Craxton is band leader of the quartet, a variable line up of experienced players of mixed age.
