Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical ensembles ranges from €200 to €1,550+, 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 for hire 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.

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.

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.

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.
