The Cosmopolitan String Quartet are a group of young dedicated musicians bringing music of an exceptionally high standard to your special occasion, be it a wedding, corporate event or a party. We specialise in our own arrangements of your favourite music and also use our own studio to produce professional recordings, a selection of which you can listen to. The quartet was born in Scotland, playing concerts in Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews, London and Paris and winning the first ever Mabel Glover String quartet competition and the Dunbar-Gerber Chamber music prize. Some of the members have been playing together for over twenty years and know what it takes to create that extra special atmosphere only attainable through quality chamber music making. On a lighter note, all of the members are friendly, easy going and professional – we will work together to ensure your event is beautiful, creative and above all, unforgettable.
