Artful Noise String Quartet String Quartet from Somersworth, NH

The Artful Noise String Quartet was established in 1997 as a performing group for concerts and events. Since then, we have provided music for thousands of guests at weddings and parties, private ceremonies and in concert halls. In recent years, we have enjoyed accompanying Portsmouth ProMusica, the Seacoast Community Chorus, Amare Cantare, the Community Chorus at South Berwick, the Granite State Choral Society, the Rockingham Choral Society, Women Singing Out, and Voices from the Heart. Artful Noise gave the world premier performance of Kevin Siegfried's string quartet, "Land of Pure Delight," at the Canterbury Shaker Museum's Village Rising Festival in 2014, and in 2018, we premiered William Fletcher's piece, "Lao Tsu Dances on the Breeze Above." Although we are all trained in traditional classical repertoire, we enjoy playing in other styles. With our extensive collection of string quartet arrangements, we also entertain audiences with Celtic and American fiddle, jazzy showtunes and contemporary pop tunes. We particularly enjoy playing for wedding ceremonies and are happy to help you customize the music for your special day. Individual members of the quartet are also available to perform as soloists, or as a duo or trio. We will play with an added trumpeter, pianist, or flutist if the client wishes.
