If you want your event to ooze class but also have a contemporary edge, you’d be hard pushed to beat a string quartet for your awards ceremony entertainment. They can play classical arrangements as well as current renditions of pop, rock, dance and pretty much any other type of song. Many string quartets also come as electric outfits if you need extra amplification. Hiring a string quartet gives you all the versatility you need and the perfect balance between elegance and modern charm.

With repertoires filled with everything from Frank Sinatra to Rudimental, you can go as classic or contemporary as you like when you hire one of these class acts.
