Dan Flonta and the Cape Cod String Quartet
Now is the time to enjoy the live music experience with Dan Flonta and the Cape Cod String Quartet, the premier entertainment option in live music all around Massachusetts and beyond. We are passionate about offering elegance and sophistication to all your events. With our collective experience and diverse repertoire we can provide music for every occasion- weddings, concerts, corporate events, or anything in between!
Concert Performances:
Take your audience's experience to the next level. Our quartet provides extraordinary performances of classical masterpieces, modern day hits, and organized personal compositions exploring different music ideas for audiences of all ages. If you need classical and/or live music at an art gallery, church, coffee shop, intimate recital or on the main stage of a symphony hall, our musicians have the skills to create a concert experience people will remember.
Weddings:
On your special day, create an aesthetic atmosphere with live string music. There's nothing like the beauty of strings to create the perfect atmosphere for a wedding. Whether you want us to play Pachelbel's Canon in D, or you want us to arrange a version of your most meaningful song, our quartet will provide you with the best quality live music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. Let us create the soundtrack to your love story with live music.
Corporate events:
Your guests and clients deserve an experience they will not forget. Live classical music creates an atmosphere of sophistication that captivates its audience. The Cape Cod String Quartet will provide live music that elevates the seriousness of the gala, awards, and corporate event to professionalism along with artistic merit.
Performing at all types of events:
While weddings and corporate events are at the core of what we do, the Cape Cod String Quartet also perform for private parties, fundraisers, art galleries, and many more types of events. Any time there is a need for elegant and beautiful music, Dan Flonta and the Cape Cod String Quartet will provide a performance that is like no other!
Why Us?
- Very Important - unlike most wedding musicians who meet for the first time on your big day and have not rehearsed and performed together regularly, the Cape Cod String Quartet has a concert season and therefore, we rehearse and perform together regularly. Continuous rehearsal and performance creates familiarity and understanding in a musical sense so that we become a unit who can interact musically at a very high level. Some string quartets perform well together occasionally but, we want to set ourselves apart from others by delivering a very polished, expressive, and seamless music experience. When you book the Cape Cod String Quartet you're not just hiring musicians, you're hiring a highly collaborative professional ensemble who is committed to ensuring that they make your day special - we offer great value and peace of mind.

We have an interest in classical music and are very sensitive to the quality of musicians, and Dan and the other musicians gave a concert quality performance, tapered exactly for the ceremony. We recommend most enthusiastically; they made the day even more special!
