us.
I certainly want to keep your details on file for future reference
and to recommend to others.”

Your contribution was greatly appreciated. Many thanks and regards."

Recently
a client wanted a performance of his favourite song by ‘Yes’
played during the signing of the register. Professional musician and
arranger Richard Benbow provided the score and The Oberon String Quartet
provided the performance.
“I was delighted and impressed with The Oberon String Quartet’s interpretation and performance of my arrangement of ‘And You and I’. The rhythmic complexities and changes of mood were executed with panache and sensitivity and I felt full justice was done to the score. Many thanks for the first performance!”
