Cadena Strings Quartet

Cadena Strings provides professional live music for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Born in London, in 2010 with two Aussie string players studying at the Royal College of Music in the UK, they decided that they still call Australia home and ventured back to set up Cadena Strings in their home towns of Sydney and Melbourne.

Former members of the Australian Youth Orchestra and several other Australian Orchestral projects the network expands to other cities across Australia.

Our teams are now based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

We have many years experience working alongside couples to select the most suitable repertoire of music, customised to suit the occasion. We can suggest repertoire or you can choose from our extensive library.

Please choose from a traditional string quartet, string trio or string duo. We have tried and tested many different ensemble sounds and truly believe we can make the most unique sound for your special day.
