About


With a many distinguished clients throughout the UK, Manchester String Trio are second-to-none in their field and have much experience to draw on to provide the perfect musical accompaniment to your event. They play a huge range of music from famous classical tunes through to toe-tapping jazz and contemporary pop - something for everyone!

These talented musicians have worked with Snow Patrol, Elbow, Emeli Sande, Gareth Malone, Bryn Terfell, Russell Watson, Katherine Jenkins, David Hasselhoff (to name but a few), and make regular appearances on television and radio. They have been working together as a trio for several years and have provided music for hundreds of events of all kinds, from weddings (large and small scale!) through to parties and corporate functions.

Similar to a string quartet in sound, having the piano gives them that unique edge and makes them more versatile when it comes to playing more contemporary music. Their violinist is also a professional singer and so can provide a song or two if required (for example, during a wedding ceremony).

We hired the Manchester String Trio to provide our wedding music. They were very professional and catered exactly to our requirements. They even arranged a piece of music that was not in their repertoire at our request. As for the big day, they arrived on time, required minimal input to set up and organise themselves, and surpassed our expectations. The music was played beautifully and many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the music. They played before the ceremony as the guests arrived, during the ceremony and afterwards during the drinks reception. If you’re planning on live music at your wedding, I can’t recommend the Manchester String Trio enough. Weddings are an administration nightmare, and this band played exquisitely, had a good price and were stress free.

    FAQs

    Does there have to be a piano on site?
    No, as long as there is a power socket nearby the trio provides everything necessary for the performance.

    Where are you based?
    We live in Manchester, but will travel anywhere in the world!

    What kind of music do you play?
    Our repertoire is extensive, covering classical, jazz, pop and tango. We are happy to arrange special requests, but a small fee may apply if we have to arrange or purchase the music. 

    What are the trio’s requirements at an event?
    We ask for two chairs (without arms), some light refreshments, and parking space near the venue.

    Do you sing?
    We are essentially an instrumental trio, but Rosy (violinist) is also a professional singer and can provide a beautifully sung song or two if required (for example, during a wedding ceremony).
