The musical genre started by The Hampton String Quartet at RCA back in 1985. Talk about your experiences playing rock string quartet music.
Thanks for being so understanding. You know, we have always been stuck a little between a rock and a hard place regarding selling our arrangements. On the one hand we want to share our lifelong work and make sure it doesn't end up in some attic in a…
Good idea Greg about showing the bride & groom the HSQ website to select options. Thanks HSQ for all you do for string playing. I'm sorry that my question seemed unreasonable. John we would never exceed 30% of HSQ content because our bookings so far…
Hey John, I'm guessin' a wedding ensemble might rule out Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You." I would suggest that players copy the list of HSQ music that is on the Mona Lisa website and present it to the bride and groom to be. There are obvio…
HSQ still is an active, working string quartet so, although we sell the arrangements, we really need to draw a line beyond helping other string quartets. You really need to make those types of decisions within your own group and with your client. I…
I have a question for John Reed or Janna:
We have a wedding reception gig in August. Which of your pieces work well at a function like that? We have quite a few (hmm.. I think its up to 16 now), but they tend to be the rowdy ones. What are HSQ's mos…
Strings magazine has released Pop Songs from the Twilight Saga for String Quartet: Shooting the Moon (OK Go) and Slow Life (Grizzly Bear), a new Strings Charts edition. Sink your teeth (ouch! did he just say that?) into these tasty arrangements by E…
Hi Everyone,
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND SET YOUR DVR'S!
HBO's original series "True Blood" is featuring HSQ's recording of "Evil Ways" on June 20th, 2010 (Season Three, Episode 302).
"True Blood" is HBO's most popular series since "The Sopranos." HS…

- Great stuff, John. I'd like to change the name of the Rock Quartet Group, however, since the one you started solicits only folks who have played HSQ arrangements. I'm planning to create one that is open to all arrangements, including new arrangements by the ATS members. Perhaps I can change yours to Hampton String Quartet Charts?
