About

Aquila is a string quartet for hire in Perth, WA.

A string quartet with a drummer isn't a combination you see often, and that's the point. AQUILA take songs written this side of the millennium and rework them for classical strings with a beat underneath, played by musicians in constant demand around Perth. It suits rooms where a cover band would be too much and background music not enough. Prefer tradition? The same players are available as a straight string duo, trio or quartet. They need a space of about three by four metres, shelter if they're outdoors, and one armless chair for the cellist. The rest they bring themselves.

On the day

AQUILA need a performance space of roughly 3m x 4m, with adequate lighting so the audience can see them and they can read their music. Outdoors, they have to be fully sheltered from sun, wind, cold and rain, so an umbrella is required anywhere without dense shade or proper cover. One armless chair for the cellist is the only furniture; everyone else stands and the drummer brings his own stool. They play a maximum of 45 minutes in each hour, unless it's a one hour booking, and set and break times get worked out with you on anything over three hours. Somewhere to stash instrument cases and bags is needed. Refreshments are appreciated on shorter bookings, and a proper meal for all the musicians on anything over three hours - just ask about dietary requirements.
