Animata

String quartet repertoire that doesn't stop at the classics. Animata play the standard canon alongside jazz, pop, rock, musicals and movie and TV themes, and if the piece you want isn't on their list, they can have a string arrangement made for it. The Melbourne quartet does a lot of weddings, playing the ceremony and then straight through pre-reception drinks, and they're practised at corporate events, working around speeches, cake cutting and running schedules rather than against them. They need a level 3 by 2 metre space, four chairs without arms, and cover from Melbourne's changeable weather when playing outdoors.
