DESCRIPTION:
Formed in 1984 by members of the Richmond Symphony to answer a growing need, the Belle Arte is a group with exceedingly high standards! Every member that plays with us is either currently, or has in the past, made their living exclusively from playing his or her instrument, so you can be assured of excellence. Our first violinist is a nationally acclaimed and recorded concert violinist with 5 CD's commercially available worldwide. His distinctive sound can be heard on the downloadable samples on our website, where our FAQ section is also said to be very helpful. In addition to Richmond and the immediate surrounding areas, we serve as far as the Williamsburg, Tappahannock, Emporia, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Charles City County and Farmville areas. We do not serve the D.C. or Baltimore areas. Whether you need just two people to provide a background of lovely music for an intimate group of ten over dinner, or a string quartet for a large gathering of up to three hours, The Belle Arte will help you set the stage for just the right kind of ambience. While our library is based mostly on classical music selections written for string quartet with several frequently requested selections which we can play with a vocalist in their choice of keys, for parties we also have everything from Bicycle Built for Two and Beatles songs to the Muppets Rainbow Connection. Belle Arte musicians will add a unique and memorable touch to any event, whether it is a wedding, corporate gathering, a private party or reception, an awards banquet, a meeting of the Fortune 500, the dedication of a new corporate facility, a Gubernatorial election party, or even the funeral of a loved one. We are perhaps a bit pricey--but our clients have always maintained that we were well worth it! For those once-in-a-lifetime events when only the very best will do, depend on the Belle Arte.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Very accommodating and professional. Thank you.

The members of the Belle Arte String Quartet provided a high quality, professional performance for our outdoor wedding event. Their performance fee was fair and indicative of their musical ability and repertoire. Their representative was in contact with me from the time they sent their bid right up to and even in the days after the ceremony. They provided great advice, muscial suggestions and were extremely flexible in meeting our requests. We received many complements from our guests about the quality of the Belle Arte String Quartet performance and how much they added to the experience of this special event. I highly recommend this group and will certainly contact them again for future events.
