Performing in St Augustine



On Saturday, a quartet from The String Group played at the gorgeous Lightner Museum located in the heart of our countries oldest city, St Augustine. We enjoyed the opportunity to play in such a beautiful garden while being surrounded by such amazing Spanish Renaissance style architecture. We know the friends, family and wonderful couple enjoyed beginning their marriage amongst one of our nations most treasured museums.

The Quartet included Hannah, Ashlee, Jody and Liz. For prelude the quartet performed an assortment of classical pieces and played Ava Maria by Shubert while the parents of the bride and groom entered the garden and took their seats. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach was played for the Bridal party and the Bride and her doting father came in to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto with Fanfare. After the very sweet ceremony the bride, groom and bridal party left to La Rejouissance from the Royal Fireworks Music by Handel. To continue the joyous mood the quartet played another one of Handel's works, Horpipe as the guest left the courtyard and proceeded to the reception.
