About The Four Muses

Elegant all-female string quartet bringing classical mastery and contemporary flair to Uk's finest events ✨
String trio
London
Public liability insurance of £10 million

The Four Muses' journey began in the hallowed halls of Britain's most prestigious conservatoires, where four extraordinary female musicians honed their craft through years of rigorous classical training. Their paths first crossed during a chamber music masterclass, where their individual talents immediately created an undeniable musical chemistry. While their classical foundations were deeply rooted in the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky, their shared curiosity led them down an unexpected path. It was during a late-night practice session, when one of the violinists spontaneously began playing Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida', that they discovered their true calling: bridging the gap between classical mastery and contemporary expression. Their innovative approach has since earned them performances at some of Britain's most prestigious venues, including the Royal Albert Hall, where their rendition of classical-pop fusion arrangements earned them a standing ovation. Their versatility and technical excellence led to a coveted performance at the Olympic Games, where they seamlessly blended classical pieces with contemporary British anthems. The quartet's unique appeal has made them a favourite choice for exclusive events, from celebrity weddings to private celebrations for the UK's Top 20 companies. Their ability to transition from Vivaldi to vintage pop, all while maintaining the sophistication of a classical ensemble, has established them as one of London's most sought-after string quartets. Today, The Four Muses continue to push the boundaries of their art form, creating innovative arrangements that respect their classical roots while embracing the vibrancy of contemporary music. Whether performing as a complete quartet or in smaller formations, they bring the same level of excellence and passion to every performance.

Teodora's presence at Americana restaurant adds a truly delightful layer to the dining experience. Her skill as a string player creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfectly complementing the restaurant's Southern charm. What's particularly enjoyable is how she balances her performance. It's not overpowering, but rather a subtle and elegant backdrop to conversations and meals. She plays a varied selection of music, which enhances the restaurant's lively yet relaxed vibe. Guests clearly appreciate her talent, and it's easy to see how her music contributes to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. If you're looking for a restaurant with a touch of live, sophisticated entertainment, Teodora's performances at Americana are a wonderful addition.
