The Albatross Quartet is a vibrant classical chamber ensemble of four professional musicians based in the Wellington area. All our members are highly experienced performers, and have led their respective sections in highly regarded orchestras, both locally and overseas. They have also clocked up many hours performing a wide range of music in smaller ensembles, such as the Albatross Quartet.
The usual quartet configuration is two violins, one viola and one cello, although this can be varied on request. And if you really want to pack the punch, we can double every part and provide a string octet (8 players). On the other hand, if the setting is intimate and your budget limited, you might want to consider a duo (2 players) or trio (3 players) option.
Our instruments don't require amplication. We are exceptionally versatile and play where, when and what you want to play - whether it be elegant Elgar to accompany a wine-tasting, uplifting Bach for a marriage ceremony or fast and furious gypsy music for a product launch. Every audience is different! We'll subtly vary the music to suit the mood and tastes of your guests.
