About / Biography

The Stretto Ensemble is a sought-after ensemble for social events, corporate functions and weddings, in London and further afield.

They are happy to travel to your event, and will bring with them their professional approach, reliability, flexibility and sense of fun.

If you are looking to find a group consisting of four individually talented players who combine to perform with a considerable flair and zest, this is the ensemble for you.

The members of the Stretto Ensembles have individually appeared in the West End, on screen, and in the pits of all of Britain's major Opera Houses.

They enjoy playing all styles of music, from Mozart to Michael Jackson, and convey their enjoyment to you and your guests. Among the most recent additions to their regular repertoire are the theme from Skyfall and songs by Coldplay and Maroon 5, which with other contemporary music adds a vibrant atmosphere to their performance.

The current available options are a String Quartet, a String Trio, a Violin and Cello duo and Two Cellos.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We require a parking space and four chairs


What information do you require about a venue?

Just a location


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No, we are quite loud as an acoustic group.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

This isn't something we offer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Some of our favourite bookings have been at venues with views. We've recently played at the Shard, the Gherkin and the BT Tower. We've seen London from a lot of angles!


What's your favourite type of event?

We love to play everywhere, but weddings are particularly special. It's very unusual to see unhappy people at a wedding!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We're all very experienced professional musicians, having played in Symphony Orchestras and in the West End Theatres. We all got on very well in our other bookings, so decided that we'd like to work together more.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We all like different things, which allows us to each bring our own expertise to the group. I, personally, am a big fan of Oasis, Bond Themes and the 1980's, but we all have our own interests!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup time is under half an hour
Regular set times are 55 minutes per hour
In longer bookings we require a longer break after a few hours


Are you happy to perform outside?

We absolutely are, but we do need shade to avoid damage to the instruments


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We have a large repertoire of over 500 songs, which clients can choose from. We are happy to add any songs that clients want, as long as they can cover the cost of the sheet music.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We are able to play in the background and also be more of a feature of an event. We play everything from Classical to the most modern songs, and are always complimented on the quality in all styles.
