25.01.2022 This time last year we were performing on the Dolphin Explorer cruise for the Adelaide Fridge Festival. We can't wait to start performing again. . #amicusstrings #stringquartet #violinists #iso #isolation #ilostmygig #performance #adelaidefringe #thistimelastyear #covid19 #covid_19 #stayhome #staysafestayhome #staysafe #stayinghome

25.01.2022 We're missing each other! Flashback to January this year when life was still normal... we'll be back entertaining as soon as we are able to.

24.01.2022 Happy Birthday to South Australias Chief Public Health Officer, Professor Nicola Spurrier. She has been doing an outstanding job for the community in this State. 3 years ago we performed at her private birthday party. Here is a happy post-concert photo! @jacqui_finlay_ . #amicusstrings #happybirthday #privateconcert #adelaideevents #happy #eventmusic #eventmusicians #chiefpublichealthofficer #smiling

23.01.2022 We have 6 weddings this weekend - 3 today and 3 tomorrow. This comes off the back of our last 3 nights of concerts. Here is one of our weddings today. The couple chose Beautiful Day for the entry, A Kiss from a Rose for the signing and Viva La Vida for the exit.

23.01.2022 80 people are now allowed at a function venue in South Australia. Solo and duo gigs are perfect. We can't wait to entertain you again! @asha.stephenson . #amicusstrings #adelaide #southaustralia #adelaideevents #adelaidefunctions #solo #sologigs #duo #duos #livemusic #postcovid19 #supportlivemusic

22.01.2022 What a difference a week makes. Just this time last week we were still able to perform at weddings, albeit social distancing. Now we can't play at all due to Australia's limit of 5 people at a wedding (the couple, the celebrant and the 2 witnesses). Here we are so far apart Carolyn needed binoculars to see Jacqui. Asha has her viola to shield herself from COVID-19! @asha.stephenson... @jacqui_finlay_ Jacqui Finlay . #amicusstrings #socialdistancing #covid19 #covid_19 #corona #virus #shield #stringquartet #funny #adelaidefunctions #adelaide #southaustralia #adelaideweddings #humour #silly #joke See more

22.01.2022 In these difficult times we are still playing for small weddings that are going ahead. The majority of our weddings and corporate functions have been postponed to a later date. We are currently working with all of our clients and couples to ensure we can still provide them with our beautiful music later this year. . #amicusstrings #covid_19 #postponedontcancel

21.01.2022 We are flexible and play outdoors and indoors. Garden weddings are particularly beautiful with the surrounding greenery. Thanks to @jacksmallphotography for this photo. . @louisebee99 @asha.stephenson @jacqui_finlay_ . #amicusstrings #outdoorwedding #stringquartet #gardenceremony #gardenwedding #adelaideweddings #livemusic #stringmusicians #beautifulscenery #sagreat #ichoosesa

21.01.2022 We missed playing this weekend due to being in lockdown. Last weekend we had 3! Here are some photos of the third wedding we did at Mount Lofty House. The bride is a music teacher so two of her students sang The Lord Bless You and Keep You, and also did the string quartet arrangement herself. The entry was Kanon, signing was At Last, and exit Trumpet Voluntary.

21.01.2022 We had an amazing day at The Manor Basket Range first Wedding Open Day. We played to people as they arrived at the venue. The weather was perfect and it felt wonderful to be playing in public again. Thank you for having us! . #amicusstrings #stringplayers #stringquartet #themanorbasketrange #weddingopenday #weddingexpo #weddingmusic #weddingideas #weddinginspiration

20.01.2022 Last Tuesday we gave our first concert since lockdown. The feeling of performing in front of a live audience was amazing. They were all socially distanced in the church with every second pew blocked off. We played Haydn's Lark String Quartet, and South Australian composer Graeme Koehne's String Quartet No.3. #amicusstrings #stringquartet #concert #lunchhourconcert

17.01.2022 We are looking forward to being a part of this event. Book your tickets to come and hear us play our fabulous new arrangements of modern songs!

17.01.2022 It was a pleasure to have played at a small wedding on Saturday at St Patrick's Church, Adelaide in current circumstances. All guests had plenty of elbow room in the church! The couple requested Kanon for the entry, I'm Yours for the signing and Trumpet Voluntary for the exit. Social distancing meant we couldn't take any selfies!

16.01.2022 Elise and James - stunningly beautiful. The ceremony pieces were Marry You, A Thousand Years, You and Me (Lifehouse) and All You Need is Love. . @elise.mac92 @themanorbasketrange @louise.beaston @hols.bennett @joefreer_cello . #amicusstrings #stringtrio #themanorbasketrange #adelaideweddingmusic #stringmusicians #stringmusic #weddingmusic #stunningwedding #prettybride #handsomegroom

15.01.2022 It was a pleasure to have played at a small wedding on Saturday at St Patricks Church, Adelaide in current circumstances. All guests had plenty of elbow room in the church! The couple requested Kanon for the entry, Im Yours for the signing and Trumpet Voluntary for the exit. Social distancing meant we couldnt take any selfies!

15.01.2022 We had the pleasure of playing for a small and intimate wedding at the glorious Mt Lofty House. The couple had postponed their wedding from earlier in the year and interstate friends were still unable to attend today. As there were only 13 guests, the couple requested no photos of them on social media until interstate friends had seen photos of the wedding. We played Heaven, Can You Feel the Love Tonight and All You Need is Love for the ceremony, and modern covers as official photos were being taken. #amicusstrings #stringquartet #adelaide #adelaidehills #mtloftyhouse #mountloftyhouse #weddingmusic #ceremonymusic

14.01.2022 It was amazing to see each other after 3 long months apart. To be able to rehearse again was just magic! We had cake for Jacqui's birthday afterwards and enjoyed a cup of tea together. Jacqui Finlay

14.01.2022 Our recent wedding at Ayers House was a postponed wedding originally scheduled at the end of March. It was a beautiful intimate ceremony. The couple requested Kanon, Here Comes the Bride, River Flows in You, and Wedding March. #amicusstrings #stringquartet #ayershouse #weddingceremony #ceremonymusic

11.01.2022 South Australia has just lifted restrictions on weddings to 10 people, funerals to 20 indoors and 30 outdoors, with parties remaining at 10 people. We are available for solo vioin, viola or cello functions if you have something small and would like intimate live music. Hopefully further restrictions will be lifted in the coming months. @louisebee99 @asha.stephenson @jacqui_finlay_ . #amicusstrings #solo #sologigs #gigssolo #adelaidegigs #ichoosesa #southaustralia #sagreat

06.01.2022 Here is a video clip of our first attempt at iso playing together (Havana by Camila Cabello). It made us realise how much we rely on seeing and hearing each other! Recording to a click track is just not the same. A huge thank you to Graeme Press (MD for Carols in Sydney and Adelaide) for the lovely chart and for the hours spent editing and putting the clip together for us. We are planning our get together very soon and we can't wait!... #amicusstrings #stringquartet #musicvideo #iso #musicislife #isomusicians #covid19 #covid_19 #cover #havana #camilacabello #lockdown #stayhome #recording #videoclip #jacqui_finlay

04.01.2022 South Australia will be in lockdown for at least the next 6 days to stop this latest outbreak. Our sextet concert on Tuesday has been cancelled, our two weddings this weekend cannot go ahead, and we've had two weddings the following week postponed. To our couples in the next two weeks - we are devastated for you but we will be there with bells on when your dates are rescheduled. In the meantime, we are contactable via telephone, email and social media at all times. We look f...orward to performing for you all again hopefully in a couple of weeks' time. . @louisebee99 @asha.stephenson @jacqui_finlay_ . #amicusstrings #stringquartet #cancelled #postponed #staystrong #covid #lockdown #southaustralia See more

02.01.2022 On a chilly 8C morning, we played at our first wedding since lockdown. The rustic Nether Hill Farm in the Adelaide Hills was a glorious venue. The bride requested A Thousand Years, Unchained Melody and Bittersweet Symphony for the ceremony. We played modern covers for pre-lunch activities. We have been proud sponsors of The Epilepsy Centre for a few years so we were delighted the CEO asked us to play for her son's wedding. ... . #amicusstrings #stringquartet #weddingceremony #weddingmusic #adelaidehills See more
