As a reminder, due to the pandemic "Quartette Affetuoso" will not be booking events at current time nor for 2021. I have renamed this page to my personal teaching studio page until such time as my string friends and I are booking gigs again. Be safe, wear a mask!

" I highly recommend Quartette Affetuoso. They did an amazing job with our wedding. We received a lot of compliments and everything went as planned. They were very flexible and made things extremely easy for me. They handled all of the coordinating and all I had to worry about was walking down the aisle." Mehmet & Samantha Fitzhugh, 08/20/16

I often get unique requests for modern songs that aren't in our repertoire. Sometimes I can buy those, but sometimes I can't. Today I'm writing out "At Last" by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren (sung by Etta James) for string quartet to be played as a recessional for an upcoming wedding. It's a great song and eventually it will sound something like this (link below). If you want a unique song written out for a string ensemble playing at your event, even if you're not hiring our group to play, remember that Heather does custom arranging!
