Continuing on with our Artistrings-from-home quarantine series, we decided to dive into this Led Zeppelin tune for fun. Our Chicago pop string quartet loves a challenge! As soon as we recorded it, we got three different requests from our clients to add this to their cocktail selections list. We love personalizing the wedding music for our couples. Can’t wait to play it live this weekend!

So, the Artistrings Chicago string quartet has been busy recording a series of quarantine videos. It was a super challenging and very fun project to record these string quartet covers of rock and alternative tunes. We can’t wait for the day when it’s super safe to play together up close and in person again. For now, this will have to do. Here’s our tribute to The Smashing Pumpkins. Go Chicago!
Until we move from pause to play, here’s a quick message from our homes to yours! Chicago wedding band, Chris Sarlas Orchestra musicians and sound crew got creative and set out to see what we could do in less than 1 minute. There are some fun surprises in here, be sure to check it out 🙂

With Autumn Leaves bringing us into April, we’ve got some beautiful solo cello music for local Chicago micro weddings. For couples who have to postpone their large scale celebration but still want to get married now, a micro wedding is the perfect solution to an unprecedented pandemic situation. One musician creates the atmosphere for an elegant and intimate celebration. Matthew is back with a beautiful standard. Be safe, be well!
