About

Bay Area Strings performs as a string quartet, trio, or duet for events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and central California. Hire professional live musicians to make your event more elegant, entertaining, and memorable for you and your guests!

REPERTOIRE: We have an extensive repertoire of classical music, in addition to pop, jazz, waltz, and tango. We are happy to accommodate special song requests, and can write a custom arrangement of your favorite song. Please check out our website for repertoire lists and sound samples.

MUSICIANS: Our musicians have decades of experience performing in orchestras, chamber groups, and private events. Some larger event services will provide you with a group of strangers who rarely or never perform together. In contrast, our ensembles are drawn from a very small group of musicians who play together regularly at events throughout the Bay Area. We love to share the fun, complexity, and intimacy of chamber music with new audiences. We never treat an event as "just a gig", because we feel that our performance can be a meaningful contribution to both joyous and somber occasions. We only offer the highest quality song arrangements and most skilled musicians so both the guests and musicians have a great time!

CONTACT: Contact Jen Mathers, cellist, to book our musicians or discuss music options for your event. info@bayareastrings.com

Beautiful music

Jen and her fellow musicians played the most lovely music at our August 2023 wedding. Throughout the process, they were very easy to work with. Jen helped us select our pieces for the ceremony and reception, taking into account all the details: how many people would be walking for the procession, when the dances should be, how fast and how long, etc. Based on her example recording, we were also able to choreograph a first dance to the Sleeping Beauty waltz; and on the day of, it was exactly as we had planned! Every piece of music was performed to perfection, and the ambience was sophisticated yet lively. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you!

Incredible Quartet

Jen was extremely communicative and offered so many great ideas. Their intonation was spot on and their musical phrases were beautifully distinguished. They were able to accommodate our music choices and arranged scores to perfectly fit a quartet. They were more than reasonably priced.

One of the most magical experiences!

I had my big 18th (a Filipino debut) and I choreographed a few dances with my court. the string quartet has been a dream to have and it came true. They were the sweetest, most professional, and most talented group of people and absolutely so easy to work with! They made this event so special and I’m so thankful for how flexible they were with last minute changes❤️
