String Trio
A String Trio consists of one each of violin, viola and cello, and in these recessionary times may be a good choice. While the trio cannot fully compete with a quartet for depth of tone or breadth of repertoire, it comes close in both respects as can be verifed by checking our Listen and Repertoire pages, and naturally enough is significantly cheaper to hire.
We would be delighted to provide both trio and quartet quotes for your event in order to help you decide.
Flute Quartet - Trio
A Flute Quartet consists of a flute, violin, viola and cello while a Flute Trio is made up of a flute, cello and a violin or viola. The tonal brilliance of the flute complements the more mellow sound of the strings beautifully, and this combination of instruments is particularly suited to larger events - check our Listen page to hear a sound clip.
Nearly all of our String Quartet / Trio repertoire can also be played by a Flute Quartet / Trio - please check our Repertoire page for details - and the cost of booking a flute quartet or trio is exactly the same as for a string quartet or trio.
