Why String Quartet?
The Celebrated String Quartet specializes in string quartet performance. Our objective is to present excellence every time we play. Years of experience demonstrate that this combination offers the most musical enjoyment for the ensemble and the audience. String quartets, unlike other smaller combinations and mixed ensembles, have the largest repertoire to select from, and produce a rich and full sound, supporting the melody and harmony.In general, a quartet makes the fullest and richest sound. The missing part omitted from a quartet in a trio does make a BIG difference. A trio sounds thinner and does not support the lush romantic sounds guests have come to expect.
