London String Quartet "Kara Strings"
"We hired the Kara Strings quartet for our corporate event and they were truly the highlight of the evening. The performance was elegant, engaging and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the event. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to say how much they enjoyed the music and to ask about the musicians.
The quartet were professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you are looking for a high-quality string quartet for a corporate event or special occasion, I would highly recommend Kara Strings."

Hans professional violinist
"Hans is not only an amazing Violinist, he is an amazing person and made every step of booking a Violinist in a different country for our wedding as easy as possible.
From the first video call well before our wedding, to constantly making sure we were creating the perfect ceremony/cocktail/dinner playing experience I can not stress enough how quick his responses were and how much he actually cared about our special day.
Hans quickly put together a professional contract for us so all the details were set in stone almost half a year before the wedding date!
Hans was able to play ANY song that we requested as well as to play a very specific piece during my wife’s walk down the aisle - timing it perfect and effortlessly all by himself.
Furthermore Hans actually also helped us out with other caterers and arranged his own transport to a very remote location.
10/10 experience working with Hans through the entire process"
Modal Duet
"We hired Manos and Danai for our wedding ceremony as well as the post-ceremony drinks, couple entrance, wedding cake song and after party. We demanded a big variety of styles including cinematic, blues, pop and the great dj set that rocked our world! They jammed on it real time without knowing the repertoire in advance. Truly amazing!
We highly recommend this amazing couple!
Hope to meet you again some time!
A big hug!"
