“The Luminous String Quartet performed at the “Coney Island Music Festival” in July, 2019. The LSQ was an absolute hit with our ‘all ages’ crowd. They absolutely loved the various interpretations of some of their favourite hits and theme songs. The LSQ are a sure win for any event requiring a unique and engaging musical performance. Given that we had an open air audience of 1200, delighted by the performance – we’re proud to provide a full thumbs up for the LSQ and their talented group of musicians.”

“Thank you so much to the Luminous String Quartet for playing so beautifully for our wedding at Bridges Golf Course. Our theme song for the wedding was “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey and we were astonished when Karen said it could be arranged. We’ve never heard anything like it before. It was awesome! ”
