String Orchestra

Looking for something grand that will absolutely wow your guests? The string orchestra is a timeless favorite. With 4 violinists, 1 violist, 2 cellists, and 1 double bassist, our octet has the fullest sound of all. This is great for cocktail hours and parties with up to 200 guests. We may recommend added amplification or adding more performers (you may book up to 15), depending upon your musical vision, venue layout, and guest count. 

 

The Ariana Strings orchestra formed especially for The British Consulate and Highclere Castle Gin at The Wadsworth Mansion and is now available for booking corporate events, parties, and cocktail hours. Our repertoire includes opera favorites, tangos, gypsy style classical pieces, upbeat Strauss waltzes, movie music, Disney, pop favorites, and jazz standards. See our repertoire below.
