Ireland’s Call

We were honoured to have been asked to perform for the Irish National Rugby Team at the match between Ireland and South Africa in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The afternoon included entertainment for the VIP guests (including ministers of the state) before the match. It was great to have a chance to watch the match. A great show for 50,000 people. In return, we entertained both teams for their après-rugby dinner with string quartet versions of modern classics such as Beach Boys, Lady Gaga, Queen, Madness, Metallica and others.

We were very happy to make a string quartet arrangement of “Ireland’s Call” and South Africa’s anthem for such a special occasion. Continue reading Ireland’s Call

Apart from emotional and passionate tango numbers, we also played period music believed to have been done on Titanic – light classical music, ragtimes, and waltzes. Continue reading String Quartet to dance to
