Create your own unique atmosphere whether it’s a wedding, concert, conference, party, corporate event or a banquet, Bollywood Strings can bring that special touch of class to you.

With the expressive sound of two violins, an English 19th century viola and a deep, rich, and vibrant cello, Bollywood String Divas can perform for anything up to 2 hours (including breaks). Their extensive repertoire includes some big Bollywood hits as well as classics such as ‘Noorie’ and ‘Chura Liya’ from yesteryear.
