Resonance Quartet was engaged for United Legal Alliance’s 5th Anniversary Celebration at Hotel InterContinental in July 2011. We played a set during the cocktail reception, and another set while the guests partook in a buffet dinner inside the ballroom.
So here’s what we did at Zouk for the Fred Perry Subculture night on 22 April 2011. Don’t be fooled by the slow beginning though, it was meant as a warm-up.
More details of how the gig came about - here.
2 months after we played for Kevin’s wedding at the Grand Hyatt, we were pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Kevin with a testimonial and photos!
Wedding: 23 March @ The Grand Hyatt Hotel
Dear Resonance Quartet,
Thank you for playing at our wedding banquet.
As we prepared for our wedding, we knew we wanted something special in the area of music.
We saw your website and listened to your pieces.
We knew that we had to have your quartet at our happy occasion.
I am so pleased that you were able to create a soothing ambience.
We are happy to recommend you to any prospective newlyweds.cheers
Kevin and Nana.
A testimonial from Zheng Yu, the groom:
Hi Resonance Quartet,Thank you very much for your wonderful performance during our event. We received many compliments from our guests, and I think you may have noticed that my dad thoroughly enjoyed your music as well. Your presence really elevated the atmosphere and ambience to a different level.
Indeed, it was heartwarming to receive the appreciative applause by the guests, and to see Zheng Yu’s father moving to a seat closer to us and listening intently to our playing.
Zheng Yu was also kind enough to forward us photos taken by his photographer 
When Resonance Quartet was approached by Amnesty Pte Ltd to be part of the lineup for their 3rd Singapore installment of the Fred Perry Subculture event, we were honestly caught by surprise. However, Cheryl, marketing and PR manager of Amnesty, in a post-event meetup, explained that she saw what she exactly wanted when someone passed her a link to our videos for Halloween Killed The Video Stars. One thing leads to another.
Coverage by JUICE and I-S magazines (the “classical innovators” term is quite interesting)
Playing a medley of UK pop-rock pieces arranged for string quartet by Wen-Bin, we wrapped up the live act segment with a rousing finale backed by Elektone and Tiramisu (and the audience by singing along!), before DJ Aldrin took over the dance floor.

Played classical music for the prelude, march-in and out, and broadway, jazz and tango for the cocktail reception.
The wedding entourage.
Team Synergy engaged the Resonance Quartet to play for the launch of Citroen’s C5, over 2 days at its Alexandra showroom. Visitors were treated to a visual feast of the magnificent cars and a chic showroom, a gastronomic feast in the form of a spread of delectable snacks, and not forgetting, an aural feast of light string music.
Comment from Catherine of Team Synergy:
Your music is beautiful. Keep it up. I’ll recommend you for my other events too. Thanks again.
Very nice of Catherine to send us a video of our performance!
Engaged by August Consulting, Resonance Quartet played for a celebration dinner for Dyna-Mac Holdings’ successful IPO launch in Singapore. The dinner was held at the beautiful St Regis.
Vicom, the vehicle inspection company, held it’s 30th anniversary celebration at Hotel InterContinental, where we’ve performed a few times. It was certainly a night for all – we vaguely remember hearing singing of familiar Hokkien tunes just before our turn on stage.
Our very first engagement for 2011 was for Christine and Paul’s wedding. It has to be a good start to the year when we get an affirmative reply from our client:
Yes. I think you guys are AWESOME! Paul has a few favourite tunes. I’ll forward you the list when I get it off him and you can let us know if it’s ok to play them. If not then I’ll leave it to your good hands J
The wedding was held on a rooftop/poolside garden beside Oasis Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Singapore. A garden in the middle of bustling Orchard road.
Situated inside the pavilion, we played a set of music for the arriving guests, and Canon in D for the bridal march-in.
We then played another set as the guests mingled around for photos with the couple.
It was very nice of Christine to send us a few SMSes later to thank us, and also to post on our Facebook page! We wish her and Paul all the best as they settle back in Australia.
I think now my friends want a garden wedding with strings too. The whole day was such a party! Thanks for playing such a big role to that party.
