Read what we are experiencing!
We know well what music works, and especially what doesn’t. From up-tempo at the reception to easy listening from your lounge sofa with a setting sun and a glass of champagne in your hand.

Who are we? Who is the String Quartet?
I am Scarlett Arts, cellist of The Dutch String Quartet and since 1995 I have been working as a professional cellist in various other ensembles and orchestras. I founded The String Quartet in this form around 2010. Never had I dared to dream that it would be so busy during the wedding season: fantastic! Exactly what we find challenging and fun to do. Because there is a lot of ‘Fingerspitzengefühl’ involved, although you might not say so ;-).
We move with the times and play from tablets and can therefore take around a thousand titles on the road. Every party is different, we choose with you what suits your big day. So there is never a shortage of music, light or too much wind for the sheet music; we are ready for it! We play a lot in the Randstad but are happy to travel to the provinces of Groningen, Zeeland, Friesland and Limburg and everything in between. We can also be heard several times a year in Belgium (Flanders).
The String Quartet or ensemble with pianist also gives concerts. For example, we played ‘The Four Seasons‘ at The Concertgebouw with Rosanne Philippens as soloist, in a sold-out hall. On 10 June 2022, the hall was once again full at our wonderful concert where my colleagues from The String Quartet were rightly in the spotlight as soloists.
