Callisto Strings Melbourne

Callisto Strings is an ensemble dedicated to performing beautiful music for all occasions. We’re passionate about what we do and would be honoured to perform for your wedding, private function, corporate party or recording session.

We usually play as a quartet, but also as a trio, duo or soloist - just let us know what you’re after.

What we play…

Though we’re classically trained musicians, we love performing all genres of music, whether it’s a Baroque Concerto Grosso, a swinging Bossa Nova or an 80s power ballad.

Testimonials

Dear Natasha

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful performance that the Quartet put on for the older adults in our community. Our guests were delighted by the selection of music, the beautiful and professional performance and the warm and engaging manner in which the performers engaged with the audience. Thank you for all the juggling around you had to do to make this happen. I will be raving about you to anyone that needs a quartet.

Kind regards, Deanna

Hi Natasha,

We’ve just come back from our honeymoon, and now that I’ve had a moment to sit and reflect I wanted to send you a quick email to express my appreciation and thanks for playing such beautiful music at our wedding. It created such a beautiful ambience and vibe, I think it was one of the defining moments of the afternoon. Can you please pass on our gratitude to the rest of the quartet on behalf of us, and if we have another event where a string quartet will add a special pizzazz, you’ll be the first we contact. Thanks again for everything, and for staying an extra half an hour. We really do appreciate it.

Regards, Ryan and Fraser

Dear Natasha,

The quartet was brilliant. The Functions Manager at Park Hyatt said that you all are the best she has heard at the hotel. All the Chinese and Aussie friends were very impressed with the Chinese love ballad. Thank you for making the ceremony such a wonderful occasion.
— Amy & Muan, wedding at Park Hyatt, 2022
Callisto String Quartet were truly amazing - their performance at our wedding was beyond our wildest expectations. They truly went above and beyond, so much so that they were able to include a piece of music that wasn’t on their song selection. We’re so grateful that they could be a part of our day and cannot thank them enough.

Dear Tash,

Suzy and I would like to thank you and the rest of the quartet for making our wedding so special. You’re all incredible players and everyone commented on how lovely it was. Thank you also for being so accomodating with learning and rehearsing the Beethoven Opus 132, and Radiohead we requested as well. You were so professional and easy to deal with throughout the whole organising process. We really couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out!

Thanks again, Matt & Suze xx

Dear Natasha,

A note to thank you for organising the Callisto String Quartet to play at the La Trobe Society’s Gala in Cowen Gallery at the State Library last night. You all played beautifully, and despite the constant hubbub from the guests, were totally uncomplaining. We have had nothing but compliments about the music and the performers. In fact, I think the whole evening ranks as a great success! Thank you again Natasha, to you and to the Callisto String Quartet. It was a pleasure having you with us!
— Dianne, La Trobe Society, 2021
Oh Natasha! It was just incredible. What a beautiful gig, we could have sat around all night!! Thanks to you, Kazz & Attila for the music & love. X D

Dear Natasha,

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the ceremony music on Saturday! We had so many guests coming up to us afterwards saying how beautiful it was. One person cried during the cello solo and my 8yo nephew who is learning the cello himself was listening super intently! I can’t wait to see it on the video and am feeling sad I couldn’t be in two places at once to hear it all on Saturday! Thank you, we had such a wonderful day and will always remember your music.

Hello Natasha!

 I can’t thank you enough for the effort and rehearsal you all must have put in to play those pieces so well. It was just superb. Even the guests, most who aren’t musicians, were blown away by it. They were telling me how much they loved it throughout the night. I’ll be sure to recommend you guys should the occasion arise. I hope you’re able to play those pieces again someday at another event – so lovely. Many thanks again.

Hi Natasha – as per usual, your quartet was amazing! Lovely playing and lovely people! Best wishes, Emma.

Dear Natasha, a quick note to thank the quartet for such a superb performance on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed the music and we are only sorry that you all left without sharing some champagne with us!
— Ian & Sylvia, wedding at Holy Trinity Hampton, 2018
Hi Natasha, just wanted to send you a quick thank you for your performance last Sunday! There was a great response from the audience. Thank you for taking part in this series that brings so much joy to our community. Best wishes, Erin.
— Moonee Valley Council, Winter Music in the Valley Festival, 2018
THANK YOU! Your group did such a great job, you hit the brief perfectly and our guests have been raving about how much they enjoyed the music. My three year old nephew was particularly taken with the cello, he has been wandering around with a toy guitar ever since, flipping it upside down to play it just like the cello! Very cute. Thanks so much again for all your help, please pass our thanks onto the rest of the ladies.
— Alice & Ross, married at Goona Warra Vineyard, 2018
Hi Natasha, please extend our heartfelt thanks to all the members of the Callisto Quartet for yesterday’s performance. We had a room full of AMEB Board members, examiners and Directors of Music from around Victoria who all appreciated the music provided by the musicians of Callisto. It was a very elegant event which really made everyone reflect on the work of music education over the last 100 years. Thanks again.

To the very talented ladies of Callisto String Quartet, a big thank you for being part of our ceremony. Your music was just so beautiful and created the perfect ambience for our big day. I won’t forget hearing the song start as I walked down the aisle with my dad. Such a special moment. Thanks again! Love Kristy and Ben.

Dear Natasha, Bridget, Su Ying and Josie,
Just a short note to thank you for performing at our wedding ceremony in February. We had a wonderful day and the beautiful music you brought to the occasion made it very special and was immensely enjoyed by everybody (many words of praise!). Thanks again and best wishes for the future.
