The Music
Classical music has gracefully endured through the centuries and into the new millennium because it is timeless. Intended often for the elegant parties of high society and royalty, it was composed by true artistic geniuses and is still as fresh and magical today as ever.

Why Choose A String Quartet?
The string quartet, comprised of two violins, viola, and cello, is the premier type of chamber ensemble and possesses the largest repertoire of all, allowing our clients the best choice of music for their very special event. From light 16th century songs, through the energetic Baroque of Vivaldi and J. S. Bach, the uplifting Classical gems of Mozart and Haydn, to the familiar melodies of the most popular shows, the extensive repertoire of The Woodvale String Quartet will please all.

The Quartet
Established in 1985, The Woodvale String Quartet has performed for countless elegant affairs throughout New England: corporate dinner parties, private receptions and wedding ceremonies. Our years of experience give us the expertise and flexibility to work closely with our client to provide just the right music for their special event.

North Star Music
A diversity of quality recordings and distinctive artists to suit the changing rhythms of your day.

We are proud to have the opportunity to join with the North Star Jazz Ensemble and talented saxophonist Bruce Abbott in recording the wonderfully romantic CD "Moonlight and Sax", a collection of classic jazz standards. Reminiscent of a scaled-down version of the Nelson Riddle Orchestra or Sammy Spear Orchestra, the ensemble creates a smooth, full, expressive sound without the oppressive volume levels normally found with groups of its size.
