Arke String Quartet

The term string quartet can refer to either a type of musical composition or a group of four people who play them. Many composers from the mid-18th century onwards wrote string quartets. The associated musical ensemble consists of two violinists, a violist, and a cellist. Even though a string quartet consists of two violins, a viola and cello, the double bass is almost never used in the ensemble mainly because it would sound too loud and heavy.
