The ensemble · Perth WA
Aquila is a classically trained string quartet band featuring some of Perth’s most prestigious musicians – bonded by a passion for performance.
Led by first violinist Rachael Aquilina, Aquila set out to change what a night out to see a string quartet can look, sound and feel like.
The members of Aquila have spent most of their lives refining their chops on the likes of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart – only listening to and playing more contemporary music as a fan or as a hired gun, never truly exploring the potential of applying their passion to the greatest songs written this side of the millennia.
The perfect balance between background entertainment and spectacle.
Not sure what Daft Punk, Radiohead or Britney Spears would sound like on two violins, a viola and a cello? Add one of Perth’s most respected drummers and you have an idea of how cool the best songs of the last 50 years can sound – rethought on instruments that have ruled music for 500.
From the Beatles to Gotye and Metallica to Amy Winehouse, no stone is left unturned in Aquila’s ever-expanding repertoire of future classics, re-imagined for classical instruments.
Aquila understands the importance of creating the right atmosphere for all kinds of special events including weddings, corporate, balls, birthdays and more – setting the stage for a successful event that leaves a lasting impression on clients, partners and employees alike.
For private functions such as weddings, anniversaries or intimate gatherings, Aquila offers a personalised touch that transforms these events into magical moments, collaborating with clients to curate a playlist that reflects the unique essence of each celebration.
Each event is unique, and that commitment to excellence is reflected in customisable packages – the ensemble with or without drums, or a combination of both.
