Welcome to The Giovanni Strings!

In today's ever more "virtual" world, live music played by a professional string ensemble at your event really makes the day memorable for you and your guests. We've specialized in event music since 2005 and would love the chance to bring our unique sound to your wedding, ceremony, graduation, birthday party, corporate, or holiday event. Above all else, we are here for you!

A string quartet is the recommended ensemble for most events for the fullest sound and the largest available library of songs - with two violins, a viola, and a cello. But we can also provide you with string trio (violin, viola, cello), duo (violin/cello, or 2 cellos), or solo Violin, Cello, or Harp for smaller events or for smaller budgets. Please browse our site,  check out our audio and video samples, and read our reviews. 

Our vast library of songs is growing all the time and covers everything from Bach to the Beatles and Tchaikovsky to Tangos. We've even got some Ed Sheerhan, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, David Bowie, ELO, BeeGees, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Queen and Led Zepplin, including arrangements by the Vitamin String Quartet for good measure! Have a special request or specific wedding ceremony music in mind? Let us help you make everything just the way you want it.

The Giovanni Quartet has provided music for many Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Bernalillo, Algodones, Los Alamos, Taos, and other New Mexico events including at the Museum of Art and the Old Town Gazebo. We've also performed at Albuquerque the Magazine's Best of the City event three years in a row. We recently collaborated with Dust City Opera for their Alien Summer Album Release performance at the rennovated Historic Lobo Theater. And, we performed a program of space-related music at the Roswell Museum as part of the 75th anniversary UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico.

Our musical library has recently expanded with How Deep is Your Love by the BeeGees; Mr. Blue Sky by ELO; Dreams by Fleetwood Mac; Seniorita by Sam Mendez; Perfect and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran; Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Gouldin; Shallow from A Star is Born; and several opera classics like The Barber of Seville, La Boheme, and The Marriage of Figaro.  Other recent song list additions include Star Wars Heroes by John Williams, To Boldly Go from Star Trek by Michael Giacchino, and Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan, as performed by Adele. And of course we have timeless classics like At Last as performed by Etta James; All You Need is Love by The Beatles, as used in the Movie Love Actually; and Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

Be sure to check out our reviews on Wedding Wire where we've been honored with a Couple's Choice award every year since 2013! And, we received an Editor's Choice Award as the #1 Wedding Band in Albuquerque from Wedding Rule for 2022 and 2023!
