New Era Bridal Guide

 
About
Divisi Strings is dedicated to innovation. With an unmatched selection of Classical music mixed with today’s hottest hits, Divisi Strings has won over the hearts of thousands of excited brides. What began as a single string quartet has evolved into an agency representing diverse talent, catering to traditional events and those that reach outside the box!

Members of the original Divisi String Quartet have stepped out of the traditional boundaries of classical music to pursue music of every genre. Amp’d and Collide are the offspring of this experimentation.

Amp’d pulls the classic string quartet out of its comfort zone and sets it right into the middle of today’s current pop hits turning background music into something you’ve got to hear. Collide takes that journey even further with the addition of turntables making it the perfect party band for your reception or a hit in the club.

The bar is constantly rising and Divisi Strings is leading the way. With exciting musicians, unique ensembles, and a statewide reach, Divisi Strings is creating Big Sounds all over Texas!
