Voted BEST Wedding Ceremony Music by Boston A-List in 2012, 2011, and 2010! Since its formation 2004, the Boston String Quartet has been a creative leader in contemporary classical music in New England. Having made their professional debut at Weil Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, the quartet performs their own arrangements of classical chamber music, rock, jazz, world music and more, and is continually "exploring different ways of sparking musical interest" [Boston Globe]. This journey has allowed for collaboration with John Mayer, the Boston Ballet, Fionnuala Gill, Giorgia Fumanti, Jennifer Holliday, Lisa Fisher, Tim Janis, Dave Fiucznyski, as well as opportunity to perform at such venues as the Los Angeles Music Awards, PBS, Yankee Homecoming Festival, and for former president George H.W. Bush. Committed to music education in New England, the members of the Boston String Quartet are currently Ensemble-in-Residence at contemporary music school, School of Groove. To date, the Boston String Quartet has released four albums, including "Xibus" [a genre-stretching tour-de-force from one of the finest young touring string quartets in the United States – PARMA], a new release from Navona Recordings. The Boston String Quartet can be heard over the radio or may be found performing on local television stations, as well as nationally on PBS. Recordings may be purchased world-wide from Naxos.
The Boston String Quartet has been performing together for over four years and has played at over 100 weddings and other special events. From sacred wedding ceremony music to live jazz during cocktail hour, to holiday celebrations, the Boston String Quartet will provide the perfect live music for your upcoming occasion. We offer classical chamber music, jazz, popular, holiday and world music. Strings, piano, and flute combine to create ensembles of one to five players.

"The Boston String Quartet played at our daughter's wedding (at St. John Neumann in Merrimack NH)this past Friday. They were so fantastic - from the time we booked them until the actual day of the wedding. We couldn't have been happier with their performance and everyone said how much the music added to the mood of the ceremony. Thank you all so much! Sincerely, Beth and Jack Nolan"

"The Boston String Quartet played at our daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very accomodating and played beautifully. The guests were impressed with their talent and professionalism. They added the finishing touch to the ceremony. Of course, I cried when my daughter came down the aisle with her dad. Thank you very much for setting the mood and enhancing the wedding! "
