“…many thanks for a wonderful and varied evening of music.” — Michael & Annie

The Limelight String Quartet was founded in London in 1994. We met through our freelance playing and soon discovered that we shared a love of good music, good food, wine and interesting company.
If you're planning a wedding, party, or corporate function in or around London we can provide just the right musical entertainment for the event. Our varied repertoire ranges from classical, opera and show tunes to popular and light music.
Let us help you plan your next function: call Derren on +44 (0)7930 229 055, or email him at derren@limelightquartet.co.uk
