   About Highly Strung String Quartet
Highly Strung is an experienced, professional and sophisticated Brisbane based string quartet that plays for wedding ceremonies, receptions & drinks as well as corporate events & functions, parties, conferences, engagements, product launches, christenings, formal dinners, or anything that requires a little bit of music to make an event extra special. The wedding music we provide is catered to suit all tastes.
We charge an extremely competitive rate (prices given on enquiry). Although we are based in Brisbane, we will happily travel to the Gold and Sunshine coasts and all surrounding areas. However, we may require a small transport fee for petrol for any bookings outside Greater Brisbane (see our performance extras link for more details).
We have a huge amount of repertoire and not only perform classic string quartet repertoire but many popular, jazz and modern covers (see our repertoire list). We also offer string quartet with double bass for larger events, corporate functions or if you want the additional richness in sound a double bass provides. For weddings we also work with a guest female vocalist if you want a special touch for your cermony (see our performance extras link for more details about these two exciting options).
If you want to hear more about us contact Renee at hsquartet@hotmail.com for enquiries and bookings.

We have performed in venues such as the new Queensland State Library, Tattersalls Club, Joseph Alexanders Restaurant & Bar, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Bretts Wharf Restaurant, RNA Coffee Club Auditorium, Brisbane Powerhouse, Government House, Sofitel Hotel Brisbane, Liquorish Bistro & Bar, Queensland Rugby Club, Mt Cootha Summit Restaurant, St. Stephens Cathedral, Tivoli Theatre, Maleny Manor, Vino's Restaurant & Bar, Royal Pines Resort, Glengariff Historical Estate and Winery, Novotel Twin Waters Resort, Citron Modern Asian Restaurant, Historic House Palma Rosa & the Royal Yacht Club (just to name a few). Highly Strung has been employed by companies such as Queensland 400 Business Summit, Australian Business Arts Foundation, Young Care, Women in Business, Australian Marketing, Austrian Society Queensland, Queensland Parliament House, Royal Australian Institute of Architects, Australian Maritime Systems, Anthony's Fine Jewellery and Queensland Rail for work related functions.

Here's a update on the group!
Highly Strung String Quartet provides great music for all occasions in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas! Weddings, coporate functions, anything! They also have a new feature in their line up, a female vocalist can team up with the string quartet to perform music in your wedding ceremony for an elegant touch to your special day.

I was actually looking at your MySpace when you commented! Pretty weird.

I like your page. The background colour is my favourite and matches my beautiful eyes. The recordings are quite lovely too.

Good job.
