Photo of Lumen - flute & harp Lumen - flute & harp "Such a subtle touch ! This was an amazing moment with the flute leading or responding to the harp. Looking forward to the next concert ! Quel toucher subtile ! On a vécu un moment émouvant, avec la flute en leader ou répondant à la harpe. Hâte d’assister au prochain concert !" Based in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 29th September 2026 Cyril B. - Private concert Photo of Jennyandthekelts Jennyandthekelts "A devilish rhythm, a galloping melody and a captivating voice" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region 15th July 2026 Denis Popper music mag - Pop celtic contemporary artist Photo of Bohdana HORECKA Bohdana HORECKA "Bohdana and the quartet were as flexible as they are talented. Our bride and groom had a very specific list of musical pieces they wanted performed, and Bohdana and her fellow musicians were accommodating and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, their performance was outstanding and deeply moving, and made a special day even more memorable!" Based in Nogent-sur-Marne, Île-de-France Region 2nd June 2026 Tess Coody-Anders - Wedding and Reception Photo of Cordes Nomades Cordes Nomades "Tomy and the Cordes Nomades were exceptional.

Based in Montpellier, Occitanie Graham V - Private birthday celebration Photo of Bordeaux String Quartet Bordeaux String Quartet "The String Quartet were incredible at our Wedding. They performed for the ceremony and the drinks reception and our guests were amazed at the huge range of songs they performed! They were so easy to deal with in the lead up to the Wedding, taking our special requests for the ceremony music and creating an amazing playlist for the drinks reception. Thanks again to you all! Julien & Kerry 31/05/2025" Based in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine Julien & Kerry Photo of Maksym Filatov Maksym Filatov "Maksym was very easy and fast to communicate with. From the very begging Maksym shared good ideas about the songs to be played and gave good suggestions about the timeline. He arrived on time and play extremely well. His violin definitely helped to set the mood during our ceremony and helped to energize the guests during the cocktail hour. There is nothing bad to be said, all the songs sounded amazing. Would highly recommend your wedding or next event! Thanks again Maksym!" Based in Tampere, Pirkanmaa, Finland 4th October 2026 Jorens Minats - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical ensembles ranges from €200 to €1,250+, with an average of €500. The main factor is the number of musicians in the group, as ensembles can range from trios to larger chamber groups. Performance duration, repertoire and the experience of the players also influence the cost.

The classical ensembles in France range from trios and quartets to larger groups of eight or more musicians. String quartets are among the most popular choices, but ensembles can include combinations of strings, woodwind, brass and keyboard instruments depending on the style of music required.

Space requirements depend on the size of the ensemble. A string quartet typically needs an area of around 3 by 3 metres, while larger groups require more room. For the best experience, discuss staging needs with the ensemble to ensure the venue can accommodate them comfortably.

Many classical ensembles offer arrangements of popular songs, film soundtracks and contemporary hits alongside their classical repertoire. This allows the music to appeal to a wider audience while maintaining the elegant sound of acoustic instruments. It is advisable to check each ensemble's profile for their full repertoire.

Events that commonly feature classical ensembles include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, gala dinners, corporate events, awards ceremonies and cultural occasions. The rich sound of a classical ensemble creates an atmosphere of sophistication and occasion.
