Review Centre: Classical Duos

"Thoroughly enjoyed We thoroughly enjoyed it! The music fully met our expectations. I’m glad I chose you, and it turned out so well. Even without having met you before or heard the music beforehand (other than on the website), the performance met expectations. I can confidently recommend booking you this way. Friendly (phone) contact. "

"In the world today you are never quite sure what you’ll get: Rest assured that with Kara Strings, you’ll have made the right decision! Such heavenly music with musicians that are equally and truly out of this world. You will not be disappointed and like us, wished it could have never ended. The musicians themselves(?) … as lovely and wonderful as the music! You feel like you’ve been friends with them forever and they will be! We can’t wait to see them again!"

"Nicola and Laura played for my wedding (both cellists), at the ceremony, reception and wedding breakfast. String Musicians have made it so easy and stress free for myself, during the planning and also on the wedding day. Once I told them what I wanted for the music (from the style of music to specific pieces), I did not need to worry about anything else. They worked with the registrar from the council to coordinate cues during the ceremony, so the transition between music pieces was seamless. Many guests commented how well they played throughout the day! Thank you!"

"We hired this piano and cello duo for a private event, and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were looking for something sophisticated but not overly formal, and their performance struck the perfect balance. From the first contact, communication was excellent. They were responsive, clear, and very attentive to our needs. They proposed a repertoire that matched the tone of the evening and were open to adjustments based on our preferences. On the day of the event, everything was handled professionally. The setup was quick and discreet, and once they started playing, the entire atmosphere changed. The sound of piano and cello together is incredibly elegant and creates a unique ambiance that recorded music simply cannot replicate. Guests immediately noticed the difference. The music was engaging without being overwhelming, allowing people to enjoy conversations while still appreciating the live performance. What impressed us the most was their musical chemistry. You could tell they were perfectly in sync, responding to each other in a way that felt natural and fluid. A fantastic choice for any elegant event."

"We hired the violinist and pianist for a private event in Venice, and they were simply outstanding. From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere completely transformed into something elegant and unforgettable. Their repertoire was diverse and carefully chosen, allowing them to adapt seamlessly to the different phases of the event. Whether it was soft background music or more expressive pieces, everything was executed flawlessly. The chemistry between the two musicians was evident and added an extra level of quality to the performance. The violin was expressive and emotional, while the piano provided a perfect harmonic support. They were also extremely professional in terms of organization, arriving on time and handling everything independently. This allowed us to focus entirely on our guests and enjoy the event. Many attendees commented on how much they appreciated the live music, and it truly elevated the entire experience. We would absolutely hire them again and recommend them without hesitation."

"We want to say a massive thank you to Cuarteto Moon, they were fantastic when they played at our wedding and really added to the day.  It wasn't just about the day though, it was all the extra effort to help refine what we wanted for our wedding.  Their repertoire is extensive and varied, but Álvar helped suggest themes for each of the sets we had (ceremony, drinks reception, dinner) and they were also able to add a couple of additional numbers that we requested specially.  A really lovely and talented group of musicians that helped make our day that little bit more special.  We already have people who attended asking about them for doing other events, so high praise indeed!"

"For our wedding, we wanted something that would truly stand out, and choosing a piano and cello duo was the perfect decision. Their performance added a level of elegance and emotion that we will never forget. From the planning stage to the final note, everything was handled with professionalism and care. They took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us create a musical journey for the day. The ceremony was breathtaking. The cello added such a rich, emotional tone, while the piano provided a beautiful foundation. Together, they created something truly special. During the reception, the music became lighter but remained sophisticated. Guests loved it, and many complimented us on the choice. We couldn’t have asked for more."

"Very happy We contacted Jaime at very short notice and yet his response was second to none. We customized the songs for the ceremony and it was a beautiful atmosphere, it is incredible how he adapted classical pieces to guitar to get just what we wanted. He sent us before the ceremony a recording of how they had turned out, we even added another song just days before the ceremony, it was completely adapted to us. Thank you so much for making such an important moment in our lives so special and unique, we will always be grateful!!!! "

"Ho avuto il piacere di ascoltare Sonia Vettorato, la mia maestra di pianoforte, al matrimonio di un amico di famiglia e in alcuni concerti. E' veramente brava. Sa spaziare dalla musica classica, alla musica moderna, al pop e al jazz senza problemi, sia come solista che in gruppo. Si sente che la musica è la sua passione, perché riesce a trasmettere la magia del brano che sta suonando. Quando è insieme a una cantante o fa parte di una band, il suo pianoforte non fa solo da accompagnamento, diventa protagonista. Brava Sonia, vai avanti così."

"We hired the pianist and violinist for a corporate event in Venice, and the result exceeded all expectations. Our goal was to create a refined and elegant atmosphere for our clients, and thanks to them, we achieved exactly that. From the beginning, they showed great professionalism, offering several musical options tailored to our event and audience. They immediately understood the mood we wanted and crafted a perfect musical program. During the evening, the live music made a huge difference. The sound of the violin, combined with the piano, created a sophisticated and exclusive ambiance. Our guests were impressed, and many asked about the musicians. Another strong point was their ability to adapt to different moments of the event, from soft background music during the welcome to more dynamic pieces later in the evening. Always appropriate, never overwhelming. Their technical organization was excellent: fully autonomous, punctual, and reliable. We didn’t have to worry about anything, which was a great advantage. We will definitely work with them again in the future and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality live music."

"Sarah was truly amazing. We hired her for our friend's birthday party in NYC and she was extremely professional and beyond amazing. She not only showed up about 1 hour early, but she brought an amazing pianist as well as a second soprano to only make the show that much more awesome. I will keep an eye on her as she has an outstanding voice and will one day be a superstar. -Marc W, New York City, NY "
