String Quartet Music for events, weddings and concerts in Berkshire
The Akina String Quartet provides captivating musical entertainment for a variety of events and special occasions across Berkshire and South East England.
​
The Akina String quartet was established in 2010 by four versatile young musicians who brought with them many years of experience performing at high profile events with other professional groups in the UK and beyond. The ensemble quickly established a reputation for providing exquisite music and the ensemble has now expanded and is built on a core body of professional players all of whom have studied at top Conservatoires.
