The original formation of the Leonora String Ensemble is a string quartet with two violins, viola and cello. However, this can be tailored to a smaller or larger group, with the option of flute if desired.
An extensive repertoire of music ranging from light classics, to film scores, and more, is offered by Leonora Strings. A specialised Jewish music section is also available. In addition to its excellent performance standard, the Leonora Ensemble prides itself on providing an individualised service that caters to your needs. They have performed at numerous corporate, university graduation ceremonies and community functions. Leonora Strings also plays at many private functions in the form of weddings, barmitzvahs and more.
The involvement of the Leonora Ensemble in your next function will make it a special one.
