We specialize in the highest quality performances throughout Massachusetts and beyond and bring elegance and sophistication to every purpose! Our quartet can provide a wide range of musical repertoire for any type of event: weddings, concerts, corporate events, or any gathering needing that special touch of live music. Concert Performances: Take your audience on a wonderful musical journey. From breathtaking performances of classical masterpieces and current popular music, to tailored arrangements that appeal to mixed audiences, our quartet will create an unparalleled experience for your audience. Regardless of the scale of the performance - private/ public recital or at a symphony hall - we will create a special, live music memory for every listener. Weddings: How cool would it be to have live string music as you walk down the aisle of your wedding? It's not uncommon for a ceremony to take place outdoors or in a unique location, and it is so important for that special location to come alive by performing live music to share that special moment with family and friends! Imagine that moment when the music starts and you begin to walk down the aisle as you enact the official start of your love story. It's so impactful! The quartet can perform so many traditional wedding songs, or they can perform/arrange personal songs that are important to you for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not all weddings have the opportunity to have a cocktail hour, but if you are having one, just consider the cool possibilities of live string music!

Corporate Events: Make a lasting impression on your guests and clients with the sophistication of live classical music. Our quartet sets the stage for professionalism and refinement, enhancing galas, awards ceremonies, and corporate gatherings with a touch of artistic excellence.

Why Choose Us?

  • Professionalism: Our musicians bring years of experience and expertise, ensuring seamless performances tailored to your event.
  • Very Important - unlike most wedding musicians who meet for the first time on your big day and have not rehearsed and performed together regularly, the Cape Cod String Quartet has a concert season and therefore, we rehearse and perform together regularly. Continuous rehearsal and performance creates familiarity and understanding in a musical sense so that we become a unit who can interact musically at a very high level. Some string quartets perform well together occasionally but, we want to set ourselves apart from others by delivering a very polished, expressive, and seamless music experience. When you book the Cape Cod String Quartet you're not just hiring musicians, you're hiring a highly collaborative professional ensemble who is committed to ensuring that they make your day special -- we offer great value and peace of mind. We also perform a concert season that includes: "A Night at the Movies", "Spring is Here", "Secret Garden Spring Gala", "Summer at Highfield", "Autumn on the Cape", and "Christmas Around the World". We perform at Cape Cod's best and Boston's finest venues and concert halls and we regularly sell out our concerts.

  • We offer a complimentary custom arrangement of your favorite piece for your event. This includes the arrangement itself, its performance during the event, and an official copy of the arrangement with personalized details about your wedding.

  • Furthermore, we provide professional audio recordings of the music performed during the event for an added fee.

  • Customization: Personalize your musical selection with our collaborative approach, curating a playlist that reflects your unique style and preferences.
  • Elegance: Elevate the ambiance of any event with the grace and charm of live string music, leaving a lasting impression on your guests.

Wonderful String Duo for our Ceremony!

From start to finish, working with Dan Flonta was a pleasure. From our initial call to the day of we couldn't have been happier with the service provided and impeccable quality of musicians.

Book Cape Cod String Quartet

Dan and his team were amazing! We were on the fence about booking ceremony music separately from our band and are SO glad we followed our vision and booked Cape Cod Strong Quartet. They were phenomenal, the music was beautiful and Dan was incredibly easy to work with. He was very responsive and attentive leading up to the day. If you’re looking for strings we cannot recommend Cape Cod String Quartet and Dan enough!

Simply phenomenal!

Dan and the Cape Cod Strings were simply phenomenal to work with. They provided the sophisticated musical element we dreamed of for our wedding ceremony and helped us to identify several string renditions of contemporary songs we loved to play while guests were getting seated. Beyond that, Dan was communicative and easy to work with. The entire experience was a joy all around, and I can't recommend them highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
