David Giardino Music can provide music that creates the ideal mood for your special celebration. Our capabilities are nearly limitless whatever your entertainment style and your musical taste. We have assembled a group of exceptional musicians, representing perhaps the most exciting performers in the United Kingdom. Most of them are competition prize-winners, who have achieved a top-level international reputation. Our extensive repertoire ranges from Purcell, Bach and Vivaldi through Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Elgar to the many contemporary works by leading composers suchas Dobrinka Tabakova and Artem Vassiliev.

String Quartet
The String Quartet is made up of two violins, one viola and one cello. The ensemble is a stationary ensemble (as opposed to a strolling group), and provides a rich string sound. This is ideal for a Wedding in a large venue.
The repertoire of the Quartet is from the Baroque era (1750) selections such as Vivaldi, Handel, Corelli, through Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and into the Romantic era, with repertoire that includes Strauss Waltzes and other lighter works.
The ensemble also has a selection of works from Broadway shows of the 50's and 60's. However, the group is not a dance group, but is more for easy listening background at receptions or events that demand an elegant atmosphere. Note also that a solo Trumpet may be added to the ensemble for extra character needed in a Wedding ceremony.
Classical Trios
This stationary ensemble can be comprised of flute, violin and cello or two violins and cello. The flute sound is perfect for an outdoor ceremony or reception or for Baroque and Classical repertoire. By contrast, the all-string ensemble has a more familiar warm sound. We would recommend the flute, violin and cello trio to the client who wants a lighter sound and the all-strings trio to the client who wants a lusher sound. Please note that these trios do have a limited contemporary repertoire. Most of the Classical Wedding selections played by the Quartet may also be performed by the trios.
String Orchestra & Salon Orchestra
Those ensembles are our most versatile groups.
The String Orchestra instrumentation varies from a minimum of 6 (four violins, viola and cello) to 15 musicians (or more). The repertoire ranges from the Classical such as Handel, Mozart, Pachelbel and Vivaldi through more romantic selections such as Viennese Waltzes and Salon music to timeless songs by Cole Porter, Gershwin and the Broadway tunes of today.
This stationary group can also expand its numbers combining our string, brass and woodwind ensembles forming our
Salon Orchestra to match a larger venue and provide a luxurious full sound. With its contemporary repertoire, this ensemble can provide dance selections.
Our
String & Salon Orchestras can perform the music of your choice to provide a relaxing atmosphere during your function.
For the traditional British banquet, you may wish to consider our "Last night of the proms" style finale, featuring the Post Horn Gallop, Radetzky march, Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory.
