AUSTRALIA'S LEADING SUPPLIER OF CORPORATE & SPECIAL EVENT ENTERTAINMENT

STRING QUARTETS & ENSEMBLES

ACCENT STRINGS

BASED: Sydney, Australia

 

In consultation with you, Accent Strings will tailor the musical ambience to suit your occasion's particularities and logistics. This ambience depends on factors such as ensemble type, repertoire selection, and performance space and acoustics. You may have a precise vision of what's required, a vague idea or may prefer to leave it to our artistic discretion - as you wish!

Ensemble Types

String Quartet - Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello

A Quartet is the preferred choice musically. Most music is written with a quartet in mind so renditions sound rich and balanced. A quartet can also play slightly louder than a trio. Finally a quartet is arranged in a half circle fashion so is appealing visually.

String Trio - Violin 1, Violin 2, Cello
 
A Trio is a quartet without the viola. A viola is like a big violin and frequently adds only harmonic richness and depth to the sound, the important melodic parts being carried on the violins. Hence for many pieces a viola can be absent without much appreciable difference in sound quality (don't tell that to viola players though!). A Trio uses less space than a quartet but cannot play as loud.

N.B. Occasionally a string duo (violin 1, Cello) or solo instrument may suit a functions logistics. For example in a recital situation, where a "wandering" violinist is required, or where performance space is greatly restricted. Generally though a quartet or trio is advisable.   

String Quartet or Trio plus Singer/s (Soprano or Baritone)

We possess fine instrument-only arrangements of sacred vocal works such as Schubert's Ave Maria (see repertoire list). However, the addition of a singer in such works fully restores their devotional aspects, invoking an especially sanctified atmosphere. Highly recommended for Catholic Services.
