Are you able to play over time if my event runs past the scheduled time?
If the event goes past the contracted FINISH time, the first 15 minutes will be considered "grace period" and will not be charged. If the performers are asked to stay
Do I need to provide any equipment for you to perform?
ESQ requires straight-back armless chairs for each performer. For outdoor events, a small tent to protect our instruments from direct sunlight or rain may be required; space heaters are also required in cold weather and will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Access to a functional outlet is also required if booking any of our ensembles using sound equipment.
What happens if one or more of the musicians become ill?
Elegance Quartet is responsible for providing replacement performers of equal caliber if any of the performers fall ill or are unable to play. If extreme circumstances (i.e. serious illness, injury, or death of any of the performers) prohibit Elegance Quartet from performing or finding replacement performers, both the deposit and balance paid will be refunded in full.
Do you need to take breaks?
We usually take a break every hour for 10 minutes. ESQ musicians are flexible and will work with you to coordinate break times for the benefit of your event.
What forms of payment do you accept, and when is payment due?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Check and cash is also accepted. A 20% non-refundable deposit will be charged on the day you submit your signed contract, and the remaining balance will be due 14 days prior to your event.
Why choose ESQ? What's different about you?
We perform our own original arrangements and mashups using live rhythm and sound effects to create something that is totally unique to us. We don't use backing tracks of any kind, and our creative style means no one performance is the same as another. Our extensive training as orchestral musicians means our chops are tops, but our love for what's modern and innovative takes the string quartet to the next level. We customize, energize, and maximize any event with the utmost enthusiasm and professionalism.
