Wonderful musicians!

Christine was a joy to work with. The quartet was wonderful, and our congregation would love to invite them back to our church. Having musicians who can follow simple instructions, sight read, and play high caliber music in a short time is priceless. Thank you!!

Quite the Delicacy!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Follow the River at a Bridgerton-themed party on July 6, and I can’t say enough good things about their performance! The quartet’s elegant playing perfectly captured the enchanting atmosphere of the evening. Each member showcased incredible talent, bringing a delightful mix of classical and contemporary pieces that resonated beautifully with the theme.

Their interpretation of the Bridgerton soundtrack really set the tone for the night. We felt delightfully transported back to the time period of Bridgerton. The musicians’ chemistry and passion for their craft were evident, and they truly elevated the event. If you’re looking for a string quartet that combines skill, charm, and an ability to set the perfect mood, I highly recommend Follow the River. They are a remarkable addition to any occasion!

Great!

It was between a DJ and a quartet for our bow renewal and we’re so glad we picked Follow The River! On-time, courteous, and sounded fantastic.
11/10 would hire again!

Follow the River was fantastic!

We went out on a limb and decided to try out a live string quartet for a corporate work function. We usually hired a DJ in the past but we really wanted to bring a higher level of authenticity and dynamics to this event. I’m so glad I reached out to Follow the River! My director hasn’t stopped thanking me for scheduling them for our event, they were the real deal! They were incredibly easy to work with. Everything from getting on their schedule to interacting with them at the event, they were very patient, polite, professional and eager to get the entire team on the same page during the planning phase. They played a wide variety of popular music and sounded amazing. We’ll absolutely be calling them for our future events.

About

Follow the River is a mixed chamber music group providing services for weddings, events, festivals, fundraisers, cocktail hours, parties, and recording. We are primarily a string quartet but also work as a trio or duo!
We LOVE traveling - we can be found entertaining in Virginia, DC, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Michigan. We've been a preferred vendor of Colonial Williamsburg and now the National Portrait Gallery.

We cover many genres such as classical, jazz, modern pop and even Bridgerton quartet arrangements! We do not charge extra for music requests or outside of our library! We also own our own PA system which includes the ability to mic anyone who needs to be heard.

Members of the ensemble hold principal chairs with professional orchestras, have played with multiple Grammy winning bands and orchestras. Together we have decades of touring, performing and recording experience. This experience and musicianship lend themselves to incredibly positive and memorable experiences for anyone who works with us.
Our recordings are now available on Spotify and Apple Music.

Additional booking notes

We can provide a PA system to be heard in large spaces.
