Short Description
String quartet, ready to play whatever music you want.
Act Introduction
After a long career as a molecular biologist in Cambridge, Molly Craxton launched The Craxton String Quartet in 2018, in order to spread joy with music. Molly will team up with other players to provide you with a song list of your choice or background music in the genres of your choice. All performances are bespoke.
What to expect
The string quartet ensemble is acoustic only. String quartet presentation will normally be a mixed sex group of mature professionals in formal black attire. We bring our own chairs and lighting and only need the requisite space in which to play. Our prices reflect start to finish times on site.

David, Katherine and I wish to say a very big Thank you to Molly and the Craxton String Quartet for the magnificent range and choice of beautiful music which made Katherine's wedding such a special occasion. The combination of your music within the setting of Pentney Abbey added a whole new dimension to the ceremony and has left all present with unique memories. It was a great privilege to work with you and I very much appreciated your advice and willingness to facilitate our special requests.

I just want to express our thanks to you all for playing at our daughters wedding drinks reception on Saturday. The groom had no idea that we had arranged a string quartet and he was absolutely thrilled to hear you playing. We have had so many comments from guests to say how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you once again.

Mr and Mrs Dyer

From the moment we got in contact with Molly we knew we had made the right choice. Molly was very easy to communicate with, very professional and nothing was too much to ask for. Molly enthusiasm for what she does shines through. When it came to our wedding day Molly turned up early and played the songs we requested beautifully. We never had to worry about what Molly was doing on the day, and she played such an important part on our special day and made us very happy. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting Mollys playing. The list of songs that we chose where so recognisable to the originals and oozed class. We highly recommend choosing Molly! We will certainly recommend her to all.
