A Thousand Years sits beside jazz standards and the classical repertoire in Amaré Strings' songbook, which is why they turn up at weddings, engagement parties and corporate events all over Perth. Book two violins as a duo, add a viola for a trio, or go the full quartet with cello. They're easy to plan around: each musician needs an armless chair, decent light and shelter if you're putting them outdoors, and that's about it. For a ceremony, a cocktail hour or a room that needs lifting without being shouted at, live strings do the job quietly and well. Funerals are handled with the same care.

Good to know
What to expect
Amare Strings work as an addition to an event rather than the centre of it, bringing an elegant live sound to corporate functions, private celebrations and ceremonies. The playing is unobtrusive enough to sit under conversation and strong enough to hold a room when it needs to.
On the day
Each musician needs an armless chair, and the group needs adequate lighting whether they are playing inside or out. For outdoor bookings on a fine day they will need shade, and a tree is perfectly good for that. Worth flagging your setting when you enquire so any of this can be sorted in advance.
Set List
The contemporary side of the repertoire includes A Gift of a Thistle by James Horner, A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, A Whole New World from Aladdin and Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows, among many others. Classical selections sit alongside them, so a ceremony and a reception can be given quite different characters.
Performance options
Three formats are available. The duo is two violins, the trio adds a viola, and the quartet is two violins, viola and cello. Larger formats fill a bigger room more easily, while the duo suits an intimate ceremony. Mention your space and guest numbers in your enquiry and they will advise which one fits.
