Strings
CategoriesPardon the pun, but nothing quite pulls at the heartstrings like the string section. From a solo violinist to a classical string quartet, the beauty of these instruments is unrivalled. And if you're more Beatles than Bach, never fear, as your modern favourites will be given a classical twist when in the hands of our vast array of talented musicians.

Bittersweet
Bittersweet is a beautiful and unique line-up featuring violin and piano with the option of adding a cello. This collaboration is made up of some of Australia's finest musicians, Susannah Ng and Mark Fitzgibbon, and is a great option if you are looking for some beautiful background music over which your event will flow, but something that is a bit different to the standard classical and jazz line-ups. They perform both original and well known repertoire featuring classical and tango style tunes with improvisation.
