About

Welcome to the Mariposa Quartet!
We are professional musicians who live and work on the Central Coast of California, performing from Santa Barbara to San Miguel. We specialize in playing all styles of music, from classical to rock, and would love to make your wedding or event even more special! Our string quartet plays a lot of outdoor weddings in this beautiful area, and we have a wide variety of romantic music, from Bach and Mozart to the Beatles or Bridgerton covers. So if you're planning your wedding at a winery, in a church, or in a barn, we can play there!

Our quartet is: Grace Seng - violin; Tanya Streder - violin; Karen Loewi Jones - viola; and Nancy Nagano - cello. We all play in the San Luis Obispo Symphony, OperaSLO, Orchestra Novo, Santa Maria Philharmonic, and other ensembles as well.

Our trio performs with one violin, viola and cello.

Our duo performs with one violin and one viola.

We cannot recommend more highly the Mariposa Quartet

Our event was in our home and was a celebration of my and my husband's 80th birthdays. Our daughter learned of the quartet and planned with Tanya over a period of months. It was absolutely wonderful, touching, and truly special. The best gift ever.

Beautiful music

We hired them for the music for our daughter's wedding outdoors in the wind. They coped well with the difficult conditions, moved quickly from ceremony to cocktail hour sites, and were very helpful in providing the music she wanted for her wedding. Very professional.

Excellence in String Music

I can’t say enough about Mariposa String Quartet! Tanya and her group exhibited professionalism, excellence, beauty of sound, and flexibility on my wedding day! She and her other musicians went above and beyond to add a classical elegance, that truly added to our memories of our big day! I would highly recommend Mariposa String quartet for any event, especially a wedding. Thank you Tanya for being available to chat, text, and email during my planning, to ease my mind, and for reaching my vision! ❤️
