Apollo Strings, formed over 10 years ago, met at the prestigious Wells Cathedral School in Somerset where they were awarded scholarships as Specialist Musicians. They have always been passionate about ensemble playing, and in particular all aspects of classical music.

The girls come from very musical backgrounds: The twins' brother and sister are both talented musicians, as are their parents, who also teach music. Clementine's brother and mother are also accomplished musicians. Over the years they have been lucky enough to work with many of the industry’s leading professionals including the eminent cellist Dr. Ioan Davies, Professor Philip Dukes, the well-known violist, and such established ensembles as the Beaux Arts Trio. The trio has played in many concerts over the years and were chosen to represent their public school at the Rochdale Music Festival in 2004. Stephanie and Natalie are both at The Royal Academy of Music, and Clementine at Trinity College of Music, all in their final year of a Performance Degree course.

The trio is managed by various agencies through whom they undertake regular appearances for prestigious corporate and social events. Having played in venues such as The Grosvenor House and Hilton Hotels, both in Park Lane, London they have built up an enviable reputation for performing their own arrangements of well-known and modern classics. They were flown out to Alicante, Spain, after being selected to perform alongside Cirque Du Soleil in 2007 and recently travelled to Dublin to record for a music video with Enya. The trio have been involved in playing at the televised National Music awards, for which they were asked to arrange and perform songs from the number 1 hit band 'The Feeling' and were also chosen to represent Classical music for the nationally screened BBC series, 'Singing with the enemy'.

Apollo Strings pride themselves on their ability to work closely with all clients to create the perfect, personal event that they deserve.
