Bellini Strings is currently
celebrating its 10th birthday! Formed in 1994 by graduates of the
Birmingham Conservatoire and the Royal Northern College of Music,
Bellini Strings quickly established itself as one of the best function
ensembles in the Midlands, specialising in providing music for weddings
and business events. During the first 5 years, they performed at the
Bewdley and Bromsgrove Festivals, the Elgar Society in Malvern, the
Birmingham International Film Festival and the Birmingham Children’s
Hospital, in the presence of the Queen and Prince Philip. TV appearances
include an episode of the popular BBC1 series ‘Preston Front’
(as a quartet at a wedding!), Central Television and BBC Midlands
Today. In 1997, Bellini Strings was privileged to provide the music
for the G8 Summit Leader’s Reception in Birmingham, serenading
the likes of Tony Blair, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Boris Yeltsin and
Helmut Kohl. |
The last 5 years have
been hectic for the Bellini Strings: playing again for Her Majesty
the Queen at the D-Day Memorial Service in Coventry; establishing
major links with various prestigious venues such as Warwick Castle
(Tussauds Attractions Ltd), Birmingham Art Gallery & Museum, Lygon
Arms (The Savoy Group) and The Belfry Golf Club; and performing at
hundreds of weddings, big and small. Drawing on a vast and varied
repertoire list, and long experience, Bellini Strings – as a
quartet and a trio – have given countless special days that
extra touch of class.
As one of the busiest quartets in the region, book Bellini Strings
now to avoid disappointment!

Acclaimed in 'The Strad' magazine for its 'rare ensemble and
musical intelligence', the husband and wife duo of Hannah
Roberts and Simon Parkin has gained great critical and public
success both at home and abroad.
Both artists have distinguished themselves individually and
in combination in competitions and festivals such as the Pierre
Fournier Award, the Jacqueline Du Pre Memorial award, Tunbridge
Wells International Yong Concert Artists Competition and the
Manchester International 'Cello Festival.
The duo has performed regularly for BBC radio and were winners
of the International Morely College Centenary Concerto Prize
with a concerto written by Simon for Hannah.
Both have played regularly at such venues as London's Wigmore
Hall, Royal Festival and Queen Elizabeth Halls, and other major
venues across the country.
As an established duo, they have a very extensive repertoire
ranging from the core standard works to arrangements made by
Simon of favourites by, amongst others, Gershwin, Irving Berlin,
The Beatles and Nat King Cole.
