String Duo for violin and cello by Beethoven [58 KB] Duet for violin and cello - Andante by Schubert [93 KB]
A string duo is a musically intimate pairing of two stringed instruments. It is very easy to fit in almost any venue and is also portable. In a recent wedding, a Liquid Strings duo of violin and cello were required to move 4 times, enabling the music to be enjoyed during the reception, during the photos, whilst the guests entered for the wedding dinner service and during the actual meal itself.
It
is ideal for small events, intimate weddings, smaller functions and
receptions, garden parties, romantic dinners, private events in art
galleries, cocktail parties, soirees and corporate evening events.

wedding. Thank you very much"

"Hi Brian, Thank you so much for playing at my birthday
garden party on Saturday. I don't think I could have anticipated how
much of an amazing effect it had on the atmosphere and how incredibly
appreciated it was by all who were there. I didn't even know my 4yr
old daughter could Waltz! May I also say that your help and professionalism
throughout the booking and performance were second to none. It was truly
a pleasure."
