We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and play
on the unceded and traditional Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Territories.
LADO Strings brings more than 15 years of
international performance experience,
creating unique and memorable
musical experiences for every occasion.
Classical. Contemporary. Elegant. Personal.
LADO Strings is a Victoria-based collective of professional musicians offering live music for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, concerts, receptions, retirement communities and other special occasions throughout Victoria and Vancouver Island.
From an intimate solo violin performance to a duo, trio or larger ensemble, we can tailor the instrumentation, repertoire and atmosphere to your event.
Our musicians bring together Master’s-level classical training and extensive international performing experience — from symphony orchestras and concert stages to touring productions, cruise ships and intimate private performances.
Our repertoire reaches far beyond classical music, including contemporary pop, jazz, film music, romantic favourites and custom arrangements — performed acoustically or with professionally produced backing tracks.
Tell us about your event, and we’ll help you create the perfect musical atmosphere.
