Cirrus String Quartet: Bespoke Performance at a special event and location of your choice (UK only)
An opportunity to add a magical, musical ambience at your own indoor special event to be held at a location of your choice (UK only) from January to November 2025.
A truly remarkable experience, witnessing live world-class musicians performing your favourite classical music.
The members of the Cirrus Quartet are all leading solo and orchestral musicians, and between them, they have performed with most of the top Chamber Orchestras in the UK.
Amongst the Quartet’s numerous recordings are music for strings and wind by Mozart, string quintets by Mozart and Schubert, Tchaikovsky’s sextet Souvenir de Florence, the 2 quartets of Leoš Janáček, quartets by W.H. Reed and the Clarinet Quintet by Percy Miles, with acclaimed clarinettist John Bradbury.
In addition to The Quartet’s extensive concert schedule, Cirrus has been recorded by BBC Radio, appeared on national ITV and has performed at the prestigious Wigmore Hall, London.
The venue will need to be indoors because of the value of the Quartet’s instruments.
