Stringsaloud String Quartet Glasgow








Welcome to the world of Stringsaloud String Quartet

.....the perfect accompaniment to any occasion...


Stringsaloud, http://www.stringsaloud.co.uk/, based in Glasgow, have quickly become one of Central Scotland's favourite all female string quartets. The quartet was set up in 2005 as a business by their manager and violinist Mairi Hunter-Barr.


The quartet comprises of:

Gillian Gracie: Violin

Mairi Hunter-Barr: Violin, Sales & Events Manager

Morag Currie: Viola

Rosamunde (Roz) Preston: Cello
All the girls teach their respective instruments in a variety of local authorities in Central Scotland, along with performing with Stringsaloud and other ensembles. Mairi & Gillian studied together at Strathclyde University on the BA Applied Music degree and Morag and Roz studied together at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.


The girls perform at over a hundred weddings and corporate events a year, with performances for the likes of Scottish comedian Fred McAulay and Snow Patrol.


Stringsaloud are a fresh, funky and musically versatile ensemble, playing classical, Traditional Scottish music, jazz and pop. From Pachebel's Canon in D and Bach's Air on a G String to the Verve, Eva Cassidy and the Foo Fighters we have done them all!

Singapore as a tour destination has varied cultural offerings and reverence for all religions, evident in the importance the state gives to secularity and freedom of belief with its plentiful churches, temples and Buddhist monasteries and prayer halls.
