Elevate Your Event with Live String Music
About Our Group
Heritage Hill String Quartet was formed when founding members met during symphony rehearsal. We came together as friends to enjoy making music and to share it with others. Since 2002, we have performed for hundreds of weddings and other events throughout Michigan. Past venues have included Meijer Gardens, Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, Greencrest Manor, Felt Mansion and many more. Our members’ resumes include masters degrees in performance, and professional symphony membership.
We offer an extensive repertoire and flexibility. We are happy to help you every step of the way towards planning a great event.
