			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-278" title="Urthema String Quartet" src="http://independentwedding.com/wp-content/uploads/urthemalg.jpg" alt="Urthema String Quartet" width="224" height="220" />Here is the thing about string quartets &#8211; you imagine them, sitting there, playing Pachelbel Cannon in D and looking kind of old fashioned. Enter Urthema string quartet &#8211; certainly capable of playing the &#8220;wedding favorites&#8221;, but also excited to play jazz or even create a string quartet arrangement for most any song.</p>
<p>Check out their rates, their background (all from St Olaf college) and listen to several clips of their playing on their website at<a href="http://urthema.com/" target="_blank"> urthema.com</a></p>
<h3><em>Greg from Urthema participated in our &#8220;meet the members&#8221; Q&amp;A &#8211; his answers are below. </em></h3>
<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-848 alignright" title="urthema quartet" src="http://independentwedding.com/wp-content/uploads/urthema-quartet.jpg" alt="urthema quartet" width="391" height="260" />Why weddings?</strong> It&#8217;s always inspiring to see people at their best and weddings often showcase people at there best.  Also when people want to do non-traditional things at their weddings it often revolves around music, if you walk down the aisle to Canon in D it&#8217;s very different than making the same trip to &#8220;Bittersweet Symphony&#8221; by the Verve.  It&#8217;s the surprising array of different preferences in music that I enjoy about playing at wedding ceremonies.</p>
<p><strong>What should people know about what you do?</strong> We try to make it as easy as possible for you to plan music around your ceremony.  a member of the group is always available to meet one on one with you about musical selections (free of charge) for your general piece of mind.  We can play a versatile selection of pieces in the jazz, pop and classical genres and for a small extra fee will arrange your favorite songs for your wedding if you&#8217;d like.  We have a great time playing as an ensemble and are always prompt and professional when playing at your ceremony.</p>
<p><strong>How does your style differentiate you what sets you apart?</strong> Our ability to easily switch from standard classical repertoire to popular and jazz genres is definitely what sets us apart.  You can hire Urthema to play a classical ceremony and then have us play jazz standards while you mingle with your guests at the reception.</p>
