Viva Forever’ Arranged for String Quartet by Sue Aston, from Classical Strings. This is a beautiful, haunting melody by the Spice Girls, which works well for strings! Here is the Classical Strings Quartet warming up for a wedding at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall.

Here is the Classical Strings Quartet performing my special arrangement of the Venezuelan waltz ‘Alma Llanera’ at Boconnoc House and Estate in Cornwall for a wedding last Saturday.
I was asked by the Groom to create this bespoke music arrangement as a symbol of international friendship between the different cultures of the guests at this incredible wedding.
This behind the scenes video features the rehearsal, my introduction to the guests, and the actual performance which saw the wedding guests singing along and dancing!

Classical Strings – Weddings
Those of you who know me from my work as a composer and recording artist will be aware of how important the landscape and the environment are to my work.
I am therefore very excited and pleased to see this upsurge in green and eco friendly weddings.
In many ways there is no better form of green entertainment than a String Quartet. It requires no electricity, no batteries and the instruments are traditional and handmade.
With many people looking for Barn Weddings and holding their celebrations outside, the music from a String Quartet (or similar string ensemble) will blend in with nature, bird song and the voices of your guests.
My job as the arranger and leader of the String Quartet is to provide a soundtrack that is recognisable, but at the same time not intrusive.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about how we can add a touch of natural magic to your wedding day!

This is the Classical Strings Quartet trying out one of my special music arrangements, which I created for one of our lovely couples! It is a gorgeous melody, and is the theme from the film, ‘Cinema Paradiso’ by Morricone, arranged for strings by me, Sue Aston!

The Veronica Song’, which Sue Aston composed for her dear friend, Veronica Woodburn. Veronica performed with Classical Strings for many years, and this is a musical tribute to her. This music is part of our exclusive original Cornish Celtic music set.
