All members of the Calder Valley String Quartet are professionally trained experienced musicians, with many years’ experience of playing with the finest British orchestras, including the Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, Liverpool Philharmonic, Opera North, Northern Ballet, Northern Chamber Orchestra, Welsh Chamber Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Scottish Ballet and English National Ballet. In addition they are involved in teaching and educational workshops as well as a variety of freelance and studio work.
Over the years they have played at all types of events large and small, garden parties, charity events, campaign launches and conferences. Many bookings are for weddings and the quartet has a wealth of experience in working with clients to help them make decisions on music and helping them to make their day perfect. Weddings can be personalised by the choice of music and the quartet is always willing to help and advise on choosing music. If the chosen music is not in the quartet’s repertoire list it is usually able to obtain classical pieces, and for contemporary songs it may be possible to arrange these for string quartet, given sufficient notice and as long as the music lends itself to a quartet arrangement. An additional fee is often required for this service.
The Calder Valley String Quartet can provide a varied programme of music to suit any occasion and plays throughout the north of England. Wedding music can be chosen to suit a church wedding, civil ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
