Oreos String Quartet

Audio Demos

An extremely versatile ensemble, they are equally at home performing at weddings, corporate events and TV.

The players currently play for English National Opera, Royal National Theatre, Royal Opera House, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra and West End Shows.

The repertoire of the group includes Classical, Jazz Standards, Show Tunes, Classic pop and some of their own highly original arrangements.

TV appearances have been made on the Top of The pops, TFI Friday, BBC Radio 1 and 4 and Pebble Mill. The String Quartet has provided background music for weddings and functions throughout the country and was resident quartet at Chorak Restautrant, London and the Honourable Artillery Company.

Not only are you very talented musicians but also extremely efficient and professional in the way you deal with the whole proceedings. We were particularly impressed with the manner in which you dovetailed the Shostakovich, Mascagni and Grieg into the ceremony itself as though you had rehearsed with the other participants for weeks – a seamless and enjoyable performance, as was your repertoire for the rest of the afternoon. Many thanks and best regards.

Joyce and Mike Head
