Animata

Animata plan their breaks around your program, stopping for the speeches, the cake cutting or another act, so the music never competes with the moment. The Melbourne string quartet, also available as a trio, plays the classical favourites alongside arrangements of musicals, pop and rock, jazz, and film and TV themes. Want something that's missing from their repertoire? A new string arrangement can be made for you. At a wedding they usually cover the ceremony, often carrying on straight into drinks and canapés, and they can play part or all of the reception too. They need roughly 3 by 2 metres of level ground, four armless chairs and good light. Outdoors, they'll need cover from rain and direct sun whatever the forecast says. They travel up to 200 km.
