Cinematica Strings is the latest project by violinist, Naomi Tagg. These musicians have performed all over the globe and have now come together in South Africa to perform your favourite pop and film favourites in one of the most loved formats, the string quartet. The arrangement is at the heart of the quartet, with these melodies masterfully woven between the four string players.
Cinematica Strings perform pop and film covers for string quartet and had an arrangement by Naomi Tagg featured on HBO’s hit TV show “The Great” in 2022.
Cinematica strings also performs as backing strings with singers and solo instrumentalists. No newcomer to the scene, Naomi’s string quartet performed as part of the opening for Celine Dion in South Africa and has performed live on London’s BBC Radio 4.
The group is perfect for wedding and corporate entertainment alike. They welcome collaborations of any kind and keep their music current and fresh with new arrangements added each month.
