Tips For Hiring A String Quartet

Hiring the right string ensemble in Raleigh can be challenging, but Gigmasters makes it fun and easy! Here are five helpful tips for booking the perfect classical music ensemble in Raleigh for your special event:

1. Listen to audio and watch video of as many Raleigh classical groups as you can. The typical Raleigh string duo, string trio, and string quartet have multiple audio and video samples available on their Gigmasters press kits.

2. Thoroughly read previous client feedback. Many Gigmasters clients who have hired a classical group in Raleigh have left useful feedback about their experiences. Also keep in mind, a full classical ensemble in Raleigh might be larger than what you'd like, but often times a classical group can reduce the number of performers in order to suit your budget.

3. Book early. A professional Raleigh NC string ensemble sometimes needs to be booked 6 to 12 months in advance.

4. Get a contract and read it carefully. Most professional Raleigh chamber ensembles and string quartets will also require a deposit in order to secure them.

5. Follow up with your Raleigh North Carolina string ensemble as often as you need to. Don't be shy about making sure your classical group knows exactly what classical music selections you'd like played!
