Sonore String Quartet Full Description
We are a highly experienced group of musicians who play together weekly in a variety of settings including for full scale operas and musicals as well as orchestral and chamber music. Most of our work as a quartet includes drinks receptions and as an experienced group of players (over 100 years between us) we are used to ‘reading audiences’ and adapting what we play to suit the ambience. We have a wide variety of music in our repertoire including a large number of classical and light jazz music which would be perfect as an accompaniment to your lunch. We can also arrange music if we don't already have it in our vast collection (we could play for more than 20 hours with the music we already have). Sonore is a fun loving group who are always professional in our appearance and attitude and most importantly, we love what we do

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Kathryn
Hi. Thank you for looking on our profile. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any queries you may have. We are also able to provide a trio or duo - this would be less than the starting from price quoted for the quartet. Would love to discuss how we can make your day really magical.

Reliable and outstanding musicians

We booked Sonore String Quartet to play at our wedding in the South of France during the summer of 2019 and are so glad that we did. They were reliable and helpful in the lead up to our wedding. My wife and I were not sure on which songs to have and they helped us to choose the right ones for us and were very understanding. On the day of our wedding they turned up early in plenty of time. We did not have to worry about them and all of our guests remarked on how well they played and how professional they were. We cannot speak highly enough of them. One of the best decisions we made was booking them to play at our wedding! Would highly recommend them.

By far the best

I had the pleasure of working with these talented musicians at a wedding in Provence; I was blown away by them. As a celebrant I've worked with many string quartets, and Sonore String Quartet is by far the best. Thank you for your music!

The icing on the cake

Brilliant musicians who were friendly and approachable and we felt that they were part of the wedding party. They were the icing on the cake of an already fantastic day and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Great choice of music. Professional. Lovely atmosphere

We would like to thank Sonore String Quartet so much playing at our wedding in Farnham Castle. They created a lovely atmosphere and all the guests have said how great it was to hear Metallica! They have a great choice of music and were professional from the start of our communication.

sound like a full orchestra

They're very versatile across just about any musical genre and are also lovely people who are patient and nice to deal with. They played at my 65th birthday celebration and guests told me afterwards that some of them really enjoyed playing 'name that tune'! Unfortunately, because of space limitations at the venue I could only book two of them (a violinist and a cellist) but they more than made up for this by managing to sound like a full orchestra. Struck exactly the right balance of music choices and volume to be enjoyable without being too obtrusive and definitely made a big difference to the evening. Thoroughly recommend them for any event, they gave mine 100%+ in every way!

Sonore - highly skilled, professional & passionate

Gemma and I would like to thank Sonore for their beautiful performance at our wedding. From start to finish, they oozed class and were the perfect accompaniment as our guests arrived for drinks and nibbles. Guests of young and old commented on their wonderful repertoire and as a personal surprise, they even arranged a version of our first dance song. As performers, Sonore are highly skilled, professional and passionate. They take great pride in their work and deliver on the promises they make prior to the performance. Once again, we'd like to thank Sonore for making our day even more magical! To anyone else considering a String Quartet at their event, we recommend them to you unreservedly.’

Absolutely incredible

Sonore were absolutely incredible and made my proposal which was a complete surprise even more special. Particularly enjoyed the Harry Potter medley and Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Thank you so much for making the occasion even more special. We will remember it forever. 💍🙂
