String Duo
Many people opt for the full sound of a string quartet to make a function really special. Manor House Music are also increasingly being asked to provide music for more intimate occasions - perhaps with fewer guests, or where the sound of a quartet can actually be overpowering. For this reason, we are happy to offer a growing repertoire of music for string duo.
Written for the combinations of a Violin and Viola or Violin and Cello, a duo is highly portable. We are frequently asked to give a performance that can move around the venue - such as playing at various tables during a meal, or entertaining wedding guests during the photographs.
With only two musicians instead of four, a duo takes up less space and is perfect for private functions in smaller venues or if your budget doesn't quite stretch to a whole quartet. With our carefully written arrangements, two instruments can still sound surprisingly detailed.

Solo
Another option for smaller functions is to book a solo Violinist. Our repertoire for solo Violin consists mainly of classical, light jazz, celtic or traditional music. A soloist is again highly portable and is a very popular choice for a wedding ceremony, formal dinner, birthday party or just to serenade a special person.

To Vaughan, Just a short note to thank you once again for your professional service on the occasion of our wedding and reception at the end of July. Everyone we have spoken to about the events has complimented you and the other players on the standard and exemplary sound. We are racking our brains as to when we can hire your services again. Kindest Regards, Andy and Claire (Wedding at Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons)
