Description
Quartessa are a vibrant and stylish string quartet bringing a fresh twist to jazz, pop, and everything in between. Based in London, this young, professional ensemble blends classic sophistication with modern flair, offering unforgettable live music for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. Available as a duo, trio, or full quartet – and happy to take song requests on the day.
Add a touch of elegance and sparkle to your event with the rich, swinging sounds of Quartessa! Comprised of accomplished graduates from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, these musicians are passionate about reimagining jazz and pop standards through original arrangements, soulful improvisation, and infectious energy.
Expect toe-tapping takes on jazz favourites like Duke Ellington’s It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing), dreamy renditions of ballads such as What a Difference a Day Makes, and smooth, sultry interpretations of Bossa Nova gems like Jobim’s The Girl from Ipanema.
Quartessa also shine with their sophisticated versions of pop hits – from The Beatles and Blondie to Billie Eilish – inspired by the romantic, string-driven world of Netflix’s Bridgerton. Tailor your ceremony, champagne reception, or celebration with special songs that are meaningful to you.
With performances across the UK and Europe, the group has appeared at top venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, and Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho. They’ve shared the stage with ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra and Jazz Jamaica, and have collaborated with artists including ESKA, Brinsley Forde, Noel McCoy, and Jumoké Fashola.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Quartessa bring a unique blend of class, creativity, and charm. Professional, friendly, and completely bespoke – they’re here to make your event truly special.
