About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
We are The Bash's #1-rated quartet in the greater Baltimore/Washington area - rated as such every month, now for 78 months in a row. And for each of the last three years, The Bash has selected us as the winner of their "National Award" in their string quartet category. We made it to the top, and we plan on staying there! Thanks one and all for the great reviews.
Experience, talent, commitment, the personal touch - from Nancy and David Shavin.
NOTE: Free Beethoven string quartet concerts on August 20 and 22. Contact us if you wish details.
Violin/violin duet, violin/viola duet, string trio (violin/viola/cello) or string quartet (two violins/viola/cello) - we bring to each job decades of experience. Classical, light classical, and popular - you name it, we'll get it done. (Also, we have select musicians who occasionally join us: singers, flutists, string bassists, etc.)
A bit of background: We've literally decades of experience in orchestras, including Atlanta, Washington, DC, and New York. We've played at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Constitution Hall and Wolf Trap. And, though this may only impress some of the older set out there (and perhaps scare some of the younger set!), we've performed with the likes of Vicki Carr, Wayne Newton, Bob Hope and Michael Jackson. But string quartets remain our passion.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 1, 2015•From Leesburg, VA
This was our third wedding of three daughters and we had a string quartet for all three. The Leesburg String Ensemble was absolutely the best. They went out of their way to make sure the music was wonderful, even coming to the rehearsal to play. Their music made the wedding ceremony even more beautiful. Quite a few guests commented on the music. I can't recommend them enough.

Funeral•Reviewed on February 11, 2017•From Washington, DC
Leesburg String Ensemble gave a PHENOMENAL performance for my father's funeral services. They were professional, knowledgeable and a pure joy. They performed mostly classical peices but they did an amazing rendition of Frank Sinatra's I Did It My Way which brought my daughter to tears. They also performed Lift Thine Eyes by Mendolsohn which brought tears to my eyes. Securing them to perform was one of the smartest decisions that I made for the funeral and they really made the day quite special and lovely. They are the BEST!!!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 13, 2016•From Leesburg, VA
Leesburg String Ensemble was wonderful! They accompanied our organist at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Leesburg, VA for our daughter's wedding, and they sounded terrific. We, and our guests, were very impressed. They were extremely easy to work with and made this aspect of wedding planning completely stress free. I highly recommend them!
