ABOUT US
VINTAGE STRING is a live music performance group founded and managed by Vanessa Fitzgerald and Diane Hastings. Our teams have hubs in Boston, Providence, and NYC and provide outstanding live string performances throughout New England and destinations worldwide. We are passionate performers and classically trained musicians at Vintage String Music; our founders and team members alike maintain active freelance careers ranging from local pubs and symphony halls to the national touring stage and recording studio. The VINTAGE STRING team is a close network of outstanding musicians who are passionate about making unforgettable musical moments in every performance and who are hand-selected to comprise each ensemble.
Our woman-owned company started as a passion project cover band in 2018. In order to meet demand for our unique performances and client-centered work, we have grown into a small business that produces over 130 events and year and 500 events since 2020. We pride ourselves on the details, organizational systems, and enduring passion for inspiring performance. We created award-winning results and we are honored to be a highly referred and sought after group. Through our planning and performance process, we endeavor to build lasting relationships with our clients, our industry partners, and our fellow artistic colleagues.
OUR ENSEMBLES
WEDDINGS & SPECIAL EVENTS
As trusted experts in curating and performing WEDDINGS and special events, we strive to ensure that every event is hand crafted and tailored to each vision. We work with our clients and industry partners to cultivate song choices through an intentional planning and consultation process. For ease of organization, we have a dedicated client portal available right from our site to manage details of the music and particulars for each event. Our full REPERTOIRE LIST is extensive, and ranges across 5 centuries. In addition to the songs available for each ensemble on our repertoire list, all Vintage String clients select one custom song not found on the repertoire list for a personal touch. Additional custom songs are certainly an option, as well. If you can dream it, we can do it.
We offer ensembles for every budget- solo, duo, trio, and quartets, with a range of customization options. Our ensembles feature violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano. Percussion can be added to any ensemble to bring an elegant ceremony into a lively cocktail hour party. Additionally, we are pleased to offer options for amplifying instruments and supporting ceremony sound with wireless handheld and lapel microphone choices. Not featured above in our ensemble videos are solo violin options and piano options. Please reach out for samples of these ensembles, which are also a beautiful choice for any event.

What’s your Vintage?
We play it all- from Beethoven to Beyoncé.
WHAT IS A MUSICAL VINTAGE?
Similar to a bottle of wine, every piece of music has a vintage, or a year it was created. Like wine, style elements unite it with other music from that time and place. However, the artist and melody distinguishes a piece from others from that year. Are you a “sommelier” of music? Listen and identify the artist and song from each year below.
