The Music Makes it
La Dolce Quartet

La Dolce Quartet

“ A highly professional performance. You were the highlight of the day!”

John & Theresa Perry / The Ritz London

La Dolce Quartet was formed in 2001 as an innovative ensemble to perform music outside of the standard string quartet repertoire. As well as being the resident string quartet at The Ritz Hotel in London the quartet have played with the likes of Elton John and in the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic and National Symphony Orchestras

The quartet has had many arrangements specifically written for them and enjoy playing music from different genres, including pop, jazz and easy listening as well as an extensive classical repertoire.

“ A highly professional performance. You were the highlight of the day!”

John & Theresa Perry / The Ritz London

“I just wanted to drop you an email to say what a pleasure it was working with you and The Quartet on Svetlana and Dmitry's wedding. The ladies were very professional and prompt, and they played absolutely beautifully! Please pass on my message to the ladies. I look forward to the possibility of working with you all in the future.”

Dmitry and Svetlana Shakin / Connaught Hotel

“Thank you for all your help. We had a wonderful day. La Dolce Quartet were fabulous and played beautifully. Gigz Management were brilliant throughout especially when we changed our minds over the style of music we wanted at the wedding. Thank you so much, the day went without a hitch and that's a testament to the service you provide.”

Lyn and Michael Tomlinson / Lanesborough hotel, London

“Booking the quartet with Gigz Management was one of the few completely pain free things we had to organise. They were brilliant and always responded straight away with any queries, which made booking and organising very easy for a stressed bride!! La Dolce Quartet played a perfect selection of music; walking up the aisle to them playing Pachelbels Canon in D was just as I dreamed! ”
