performance
Gloriette String Quartet will arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled time, to set up the performance space.

Gloriette String Quartet is comprised of Sydney Conservatorium graduates. In a situation where a member(s) cannot perform at your event, we will provide alternative quality musicians with equal experience and talent to fulfil their role.

Our dress code consists of all black.

If you require Gloriette String Quartet to perform at your wedding ceremony and reception, there may be time in-lieu. Time-in-lieu fees apply for durations longer than an hour, at an additional fee of $160 per hour.

additional requirements
Gloriette String Quartet requests that the client arrange for the following, otherwise the quality of the performance cannot be guaranteed.

  • 4 armless chairs
  • An area of approximately 2m by 3m for performing and with sufficient light to read music
  • For outdoor events, performers need to be located in an area away from direct sunlight and rain. If there is no shelter at the location of your event, we advise if appropriate, a wet weather plan in the event of inclement weather. We cannot continue to perform if it starts to drizzle or rain, due to the damage this causes to the instruments.
We also request a 10 minute break for every hour Gloriette String Quartet performs, and would appreciate refreshments and a meal be provided for each performer if performances are booked for more than 3 hours.

We normally do not require our instruments to be amplified, however, if there are a large number of guests (120+) at your venue, then we are happy to use amplification which you must supply. We recommend 'Small Systems PA Hire' www.sspa.com.au. They can be contacted on 9584 9999, or emailed at: info@sspa.com.au.

other

In case your event exceeds the booking time, it may not be possible to continue performing if it interferes with other bookings and commitments. You will be notified of any other engagements that we may have on the same day as your event beforehand, should this be the case.

If you have a special request and the piece(s) require to be arranged for string quartet, these can be arranged for a fee. Fees can be discussed upon booking.

It is important to read all the pricings & bookings information carefully before making a booking.
