British String Quartet

The British String Quartet was formed specifically for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and London 2012, earning widespread acclaim at major public and Olympic Sponsor events, including the Thames Diamond Jubilee Festival, The Olympic Park, and a 10-night residency at the Royal Opera House.

The epitome of Cool Britannia, this Union Jack-clad quartet plays classic Britpop and British music with a unique orchestral twist. The Quartet's Best of British set features young, culturally diverse musicians who are some of the best classically trained talent in London.

This versatile string quartet performs genres ranging from Britpop to dub step and drum and bass. The repertoire for this set includes their own unique versions of iconic British pieces by artists like Queen, the Beatles, and The Verve. They also put their urban orchestral twist on TV and film themes, including Doctor Who and James Bond.

As an additional option, either a male or female vocalist can join the group to perform British pop classics by artists such as Oasis, Coldplay, and Elbow.

Their experienced male and female vocalists join the musicians to get the audience dancing to well-known tunes by top British artists such as Amy Winehouse, Adele, Soul II Soul, Robbie Williams, Emeli Sandé, Jessie J, and Laura Mvula.

The quartet can also be accompanied by specially created iconic London and British visuals, which can be projected behind the group and have the option of being mixed live by a VJ.
