If you are looking for jaw-dropping, mouth-watering, belly-aching and side-splitting entertainment then look no further. Graffiti Classics provides an exciting and unique alternative to the String Quartet, offering an all-singing, all-dancing, comedy cabaret act. They have moved the classical string quartet into the 21st Century. The combination of classical, jazz, opera and folk and acoustic music together with energetic, choreographed moves and humorous interactions with the audience provides a stunning show that no one will forget. Every item in the programme reveals a unique talent displayed in amazing individual and group performances with an exciting choreographed presentation.
 
Graffiti Classics was founded in 1997 by Cathal O'Duill. Whilst street-performing in Covent Garden (London) he realised that classical music could be made fun for any audience through interaction and comedy. The company has developed a unique antidote to the preconceptions of classical music as stuffy and elitist and succeeds in bringing it to anyone and everyone whatever their age.
 
Graffiti Classics have a large international following and in 2011 performed in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Tunisia, Sweden, Holland, Estonia, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. Graffiti Classics perform for a huge range of events, their varied work taking them from festivals, cruise-ships and concert halls to prisons, hospitals and schools; from weddings and parties to theatres and corporate events.

Graffiti Classics are happy to perform a more traditional repertoire at your Wedding ceremony, followed by their outstanding comedy cabaret later on in the day! Please see performance times or speak to an Alive Network booking agent for more details.

booked Graffiti Classics for their event

“On the Fringe, a dazzling foursome called Graffiti Classics has been packing them in at the Pleasance Dome. They are basically a string quartet, with double bass replacing cello. But that classification doesn't begin to describe their quickfire concoction of dancing, singing and clowning, all done while they also get their virtuosic fingers around a repertoire running from madrigals and Mozart to tango - and even a can-can. ...the show would be a wonderful antidote for those who think that classical music is as staid as stained-glass.
