We are a student-based string quartet, and play a variety of different genres of music for occasions such as weddings, balls, birthday parties, and drinks receptions. The Cherwell Quartet is made up of a team of young musicians, largely based at the University of Oxford. We are available to play for your event and have been working in the Oxford area for the past 3 years.
