Fans of Sunday night period drama Downton Abbey might be interested to read that a Live Music Management act featured in last weeks episode.
When a fund raiser was held in the glorious Abbey to help the war effort the orchestra featured members of the Strings of Life Quartet who can be booked from Live Music Management (for details visit the classical pages here http://www.lmmuk.com/classical.php )
Members of Strings Of Life have featured on the sound track of Downton Abbey right from the start of season one but the opening episode of season two featured the girls dressed in Edwardian costume playing in the Grand Hall as the drama unfolded around them.
Anyone considering a vintage wedding may want to consider booking a string quartet for their big day and Strings Of Life are one of the best there is . They have a very wide repertoire and considerable expertise in playing music for wedding ceremonies and wedding breakfasts. Besides this they have a formidable CV with TV and film credits including Harry Potter movies and the X Factor. They are very pleased to be able to add an appearance in Dowton Abbey to this list.

which is the song they played in Downton Abbey?
Members of the act played in the scene where a fundraiser was held in the Abbey. I understand that some of them have also played on random bits of the soundtrack.Not sure of the names of the tracks.
What did the quartet played during the concert in Downton Abbey (Matthew and Mary talking)?
The music was by Elgar “Chanson De Matin” which is a piece that the girls often play at weddings.
I listened to it. But it wasn’t the one played that ended Mary and Matthew’s conversation during the concert. It’s also the piece playing at the background while Mr Carson and Ms Hughes were talking.
