Of all the options, we recommend the string quartet (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello) because it is most representative of the orchestral string family. It is the most sonically-balanced and aurally-pleasing of the ensembles. Additionally, most string repertoire is written for string quartet - both classical and modern. Especially when playing modern pieces, the string quartet simulates the typical 4-musician band make-up (singer, guitarist, bassist, drums). When booking a string quartet, you are ensuring the best quality in ensemble and musical arrangement.
