The quartet was formed in 2001 when Helen Coleman (Clarke) and Lucy Deakin (Knox) met at Leeds College of Music. Magenta has developed into a vibrant ensemble and play for weddings and functions throughout Derbyshire and Yorkshire. In addition to the quartet of four players, Helen & Lucy also perform regularly as a string duo (violin & cello).
The repertoire of the quartet is well suited to a wide range of events and has been well received at weddings, receptions, birthdays.
In addition to standard classical repertoire, Magenta are experienced in arranging more popular songs to suit the sound of the string quartet and duo and are happy to take special requests for your wedding ceremony at no extra charge. Make sure that your wedding is unique by selecting the pieces that are special to you.
