Accent Strings devote care and attention towards creating beautiful music for your special occasion. Our work encompasses intimate marriage ceremonies to global commercial projects and we are pleased to tailor the musical ambience to best reflect your personal requirements. Our expertise extends beyond performance degrees from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and orchestral experience with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Orchestra. It is drawn from sustained success and longevity at the forefront of fine string music in Australia. We are pictured as a string trio, however we often play as a string quartet by adding a colleague on viola or as a duo with just violin and cello. We look forward to collaborating with you!

Summary Time Price

 

String Quartet - Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello

A Quartet is the preferred choice musically. Most music is written with a quartet in mind so renditions sound rich and balanced. A quartet can also play slightly louder than a trio. Finally a quartet is arranged in a half circle fashion so is appealing visually.

 

String Trio - Violin 1, Violin 2, Cello

A Trio is a quartet without the viola. A viola is like a big violin and frequently adds only harmonic richness and depth to the sound, the important melodic parts being carried on the violins. Hence for many pieces a viola can be absent without much appreciable difference in sound quality (don't tell that to viola players though!). A Trio uses less space than a quartet but cannot play as loud.

 

N.B. Occasionally a string duo (violin 1, Cello) or solo instrument may suit a functions logistics. For example in a recital situation, where a "wandering" violinist is required, or where performance space is greatly restricted. Generally though a quartet or trio is advisable.
