About us:
After 30 years as a Molecular Biologist (with music always on the side) Molly Craxton wanted to devote her remaining days to spreading joy with music. The back story is here in words and pictures. Molly shares a link of descent with the well known British musicians, Harold and Janet Craxton. For that reason, her musical offerings are labelled with her surname. Molly plays violin and can organise a range of ensembles to play live background music: solo violin, string groups and mixed instrument groups. The string quartet format is ideal, as it can give voice to a vast range of musical ideas and moods. The Craxton String Quartet was born in 2018. Molly plays first violin in our YouTube video debut.
Repertoire:
The Craxton String Quartet are a group of classically trained, musically omnivorous generalists dedicated to professionalism. We can play almost anything in order to convey the right mood for the occasion. Our current repertoire list is available HERE. The list includes links to MP3 files so that you can listen to each item and includes durations so that you can decide how many items to choose. The repertoire list undergoes annual review during the winter months. Special requests can also be accommodated on occasion. Together, we create a bespoke song list for your event. You may, for example, email me a copy of the repertoire list with your choices indicated.
