Afton String Quartet String Quartet from Charlottesville, VA

The Afton String Quartet has a wide variety of music at its fingertips, suitable for weddings, receptions, funerals, parties, corporate events, wine-tastings, and more. Whether you are looking to feature particular music at an event, or background music to set the mood, few options can match the beauty and versatility of a stellar string quartet. We recommend engaging our full quartet for the warmth and depth of sound, and the immense repertoire. Every occasion is unique, though, so we are available as a string trio or duo to fit your space or budget or physical distancing requirements. If you are looking to go bigger, we have a wide field of colleagues who can add trumpet, guitar, harp, or almost any other instrument to our ensemble. Our training is classical, but we are very comfortable playing other styles and mixing them up. Jazz (ragtime), rock, show tunes, hymns, themes from movies or video games, various folk traditions — all of these are fair game. If you have a special occasion on the horizon — marrying your sweetheart, entertaining your clients, or christening your ship in central Virginia — we hope you will get in touch to find out how our musicians can help make it an exceptional one.
