“This stylish Female String Quartet provides beautiful music, adding classical glamour to any event”
“We booked Grazioso Strings for one of our major supporter events. They were wonderful and fitted into the occasion seamlessly, providing just the right atmosphere and helping to make the event such a success. They were friendly and professional to work with and we would be very happy to book them again. ”
“I was at a wonderful party at the Queens House Greenwich which GS played at. Their sound is wonderful and ensemble really crisp and full of brio. The cello in particular had a rich Tortelier like timbre . They also look as if they are really having fun which avoids the whole show looking too serious. Their Bizet was also full of zippy energy”
“They played at my sister’s party at the Queen’s House, Greenwich. I enjoyed their wide and varied repertoire, wonderful energy and really tight playing in an echoey hall. I would recommend Grazioso Strings to anybody, without hesitation”
“I booked Grazioso Strings very last minute for a formal supper. They were fantastic! They were friendly, flexible and their music was perfect for the occasion, a very talented group who would add sparkle to any event – will definitely book them again”
“The Quartet was FANTASTIC! They really knew what and when to play, they performed our chosen songs perfectly with great timing. And overall it was amazing and our guests loved them”
“I would like to thank you and Grazioso Strings for providing such beautiful music for our wedding at Chiddingstone Castle on the 1st August. It made the ceremony absolutely perfect. The guests were hugely complementary of your performance and it was so fitting to have you as part of the afternoon tea on the lawn also. ”
“Thank you so much for your performances yesterday. Everyone enjoyed it as a splendid backdrop to a lovely afternoon. A number of my guests with some musical knowledge really appreciated your skill and ability and were excited by the sound you made together”
“We just wanted to thank you both so much for playing so perfectly at our wedding on 7th June 2014 at Chilston Park. It was wonderful to see you both there playing when we arrived and to see that you had been entertaining our guests. We also loved your playing at the beginning of our wedding breakfast, it created a great atmosphere. Thank you and we hope to work with you again some time”
“Thank you all for your quartet’s excellent performance on Friday. The appearance, the attention to detail and the magnificent playing were just as I hoped. The bride and groom were very pleased.”
“On behalf of Vossloh Kiepe UK and all of us at Reeves Green, I’d like to thank all the members of the quartet for your lovely performance at the our event at the Queen’s House last week. The three sets chosen perfectly matched the changing moods of the evening, and we particularly enjoyed your interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody during dinner. I do hope we’ll be able to work together again in the future”
“Thank you so much for your wonderful performance yesterday and please pass on my thanks to the other members of Grazioso Strings. We thoroughly enjoyed the music in both the church and at the Orangery and it certainly added to our day”
“We were delighted with the performance – please pass on our great appreciation. It was a wonderful evening!”
“My new husband and I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful performance at our wedding last Saturday! We thought the ceremony music was beautiful and the selection for cocktails was just right as well”
