TESTIMONIALS:

I worked with Leah Zweck and the players from the “String Sirens” on many occasions – on television, at live events and in the recording studio.

The people in this group are professional, hard-working, easy-going and superb musicians.

John Foreman – Musical Director

 

The “String Sirens” kicked off our executive xmas function in true class and style.

They read the ambience and mood of the crowd beautifully and easily adapted to adverse weather conditions and other hiccups intuitively and without prompting.

They were truly professional, flexible and easy going, not to mention very talented musicians, impressing our VIP’s who are regular concert goers and music aficionados.

The “String Sirens” understood my needs as a corporate events organiser and were on the mark (and on time!) with everything from correspondence leading up to the event, the performance on the evening and event follow up.

I would recommend them as an asset to any corporate function.

Kerryn Benbow – Special Projects Co-ordinator, SAI Global

 

As Glenn’s Musical Director, I could not have wished for a better string
quartet than the “String Sirens” to work with.

Their musicianship and dedication to getting it right in rehearsal carried through to every performance.

By tour’s end they even had their own solo spot opening the second act for Glenn with a fantastic Beatles tribute!

They also have the glamorous good looks that light up a stage, captivate an audience and add style and class to any show. They certainly did this for us.

With their electric on stage presence and as professional musicians, I have no hesitation in recommending the “String Sirens” for any musical task – from a string quartet for a garden party through backing rock artists or as
section leaders in a full orchestra!

The “String Sirens” are great!

Stewart Wilkinson – Musical Director, Glenn Shorrock

 

The “String Sirens” are both sassy and classy.

They play with passion, they look sensational, and I have been grateful for their work with ‘Bravo’at StarCity and with ‘Peter Cousens and Friends’ at the Darling Harbour Winter Festival”

Guy Noble – Conductor, Musical Director

 

I programmed the “String Sirens” as part of the “Reminiscing Tour” (starring Glenn Shorrock, Wendy Matthews and Doug Parkinson).

As a featured act, they opened the second half of the show with their Beatles Medley, which had the audience up and dancing in the aisles.

The “String Sirens” not only brought glamour to the show, but also fun and a real positive energy.

Their techno version of Vivaldi’s Summer was also one of the highlights of the “HATS OFF BrizVegas 05” concert that I produced.

Paul Dellit – Director, Seymour Productions

 

It was FANTASTIC that you could do the Teddy shows and I really can’t thank you guys enough for doing such a great job.

You were all beautiful, sounded brilliant and were a pleasure to be with. All those qualities all bundled together are too rare these days, so thank you.

Rich Sanford – Musical Director, Delta Goodrem
