Heartstrings
These groups are the high-profile quartets of the Okanagan Valley. The members all perform with the Okanagan Symphony and have worldwide professional experience. Their repertoire spans a wide variety including hits such as Viva La Vida, to traditional familiar wedding classics and the famous Pachelbel Canon.


“A colourful complex sound that delivers a mini-orchestra sensation. Two bright violins, mated in supple harmonies and coiling melodies, hover over their rich caramel-flavoured cousins, the viola and cello. The quartet sparkles with Latin rhythms, lingers lovingly to Sinatraesque romance, while it emerges from classical bonbons and Mozartean delicacies.”
(“A Vintner’s Guide to Live Music” by Shari Tyle House)


From the ceremony to the reception, from the cocktail hour to the dance, these quartets create a graceful musical transition.
