This week we are playing Christmas and pop tunes every morning and lunchtime (Monday – Friday) at Chifley Tower.

Tonight our strings are playing at a Christmas Party for APIS Group at The Glasshouse in Pialligo Estate, Canberra. The brief is to “play whatever makes you happy!”

Just a quick note to thank you for the last two weeks of events- it was fantastic as usual!

Thank you,

Stefanie – OMEGA

Tonight in Melbourne, our strings were performing at an event for The Intercontinental, Melbourne. This is another repeat event. Our strings played music through the ages starting with classical and ending with Beyonce.

Today, in Melbourne, we had our string duo, Zoe Black on violin and Zoe Wallace on cello, performing for the Style Co’s wedding of Zoe & Emilio. A very Zoe wedding!

Today we recorded and filmed string songs from 8am – 6:30pm for our YouTube Channel StringspaceLive. We included string quartets, our Stringspace orchestra, singers, & guitar + violin duos. We also had a double photo shoot happening all day at the same time.

Today we recorded and filmed our jazz band playing cool Woody Allen style jazz, guitar & singer ballads, and also fun pop songs for our YouTube Channel StringspaceLive.

Stringspace performed 5 x 10-minute sets of jazz music designed especially to match the menu. We had sparkling latin jazz to go with the apple tea lemon balm and sentimental mellow jazz to go with the licorice basil dried mulberries. We chose Moonglow to go with the perfumed fruit dessert.

Tonight Stringspace performed at a “White Party” at Aerial, South Wharf in Melbourne for Oliver Hume Real Estate Group.
Our strings, Kristian and Aly, performed pop for 1 hour, and then we had Jade MacRae & her singer/accompanist Aaron give a 30-minute show to get everyone up on the dancefloor. It sounded like a fun party!!

Meanwhile, in Perth, we had our string musicians playing at The School of Law, Murdoch University, Perth. The School of Law book with usually at least twice a year.

If anyone wants to listen to something beautiful today, I recommend clicking on this clip:

Hetty and James were wonderful, a perfect match for the residents and families at Kew Gardens. They loved the afternoon.

Could you please pass on our thanks to the string quartet who played at the Welcome Reception at Government House on Sunday night. They were excellent, and the music was perfect.

Thank you so much for booking Lily in for us, please pass on our thanks and admiration to her for a beautiful performance piece – she looked stunning and performed magnificently, and was a joy to work with.

Thanks again and best regards,
Lexi

Thanks again for all of your help. The musicians were AMAZING!!

Close friends from across Sydney’s fashion, media, showbiz, and hospitality circles gathered at Waverley Cemetery today to bid farewell to Cafe Queen Jackie Milijash. We felt very honoured to perform music to celebrate the life of such an amazing and much-loved woman.

Lovely feedback from a recent 90th birthday party event in Canberra:

Hi Lucie

We talked just after Mum’s party (on 19 March) but now that life has returned pretty much to normal, I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful music.

Mum was quite overwhelmed when she discovered that a trio was performing for the afternoon and absolutely loved the music. Indeed all the guests were delighted with the performance. Even some passers-by stopped to listen.

Could you please thank the girls again for their wonderful music and important contribution to Mum’s very special day, they were delightful.

Once again thank you so much. I enjoyed working with you on the music surprise, and wish you every success with Stringspace, and for the future.

Kindest regards
Louise

Thanks to the Art Gallery of NSW for recommending us!

Tonight Hana played solo violin traveling from Bellevue Hill to the city as part of a surprise anniversary celebration! The client rang straight away after – she was so happy!

Thank you and the Stringspace musicians for a great performance last week at the Chinese New Year event.

The band was fantastic, professional and engaging!

I can’t speak highly enough.

Our Valentine’s Day proposal was a big success! She said YES! The happy couple then said they wanted Nadia & Gemma to play at their engagement party! #love #togetherness #2016

Are you a fun teacher or keen student? We here at Stringspace have designed “PaperPark” Practice Books for music students. Please check out our website: www.paperpark.com.au

“Some time last year I saw one of your Practice books, I had a look through and it was exactly the sort of thing I’ve been looking for. I took a photo of it and of course did nothing about it until now when the year has already started. Very typical of me 🙂
Anyways… could I order 20 copies please.”

The hosts said we were the best string quartet they had ever booked, and they’ll definitely book with us again!

Mira will be playing the violin, viola, keyboard, and will also be singing. Tonight they are at the Sydney Opera House.
