STRING SECTIONS
MY SERVICES
WHAT WILL I DO FOR YOU?
My services include sourcing and assembling the musicians in the lead up to the each engagement, passing on all relevant information and payment of the musicians (including superannuation obligations). I can often arrange to be on site to coordinate the musicians on the day. If I can't be there, I nominate a representative from within the group to liaise between the musicians and management in regard to logistical issues. My services can also extend to the coordination of music arrangers and composers.

I had the great pleasure of working with Leah on our 2010 world tour. Not only did she hire the finest musicians for our TV spots and 6 concerts throughout Australia, she also played solo viola with the band.
Her string sections were well prepared and easy to rehearse. They knew how to swing and were total Pros.
I highly recommend her as a player, a colleague and a contractor.
Leah Zweck/Zweck Strings are simply the best!
Sylvia D’Avanzo – Lead Violinist, Harry Connick Jr. Band
I can’t tell you how much we appreciate all your help over the last few weeks. You were an enormous help.
Thank you very much for organising all the players, especially at such short notice. Every single person was amazing and it was a pleasure to have them join us.
Vince Pizzinga – Musical Director, Delta Goodrem
An absolute delight and pleasure Leah.
You and your musicians are exquisite players and all lovely as well!
Gaynor Crawford – Music Promoter
Zweck Strings has become a valuable resource for the State Theatre when negotiating with promoters and corporate clients.
Leah brings not only first class musicians and musicianship but also impeccably presented talent.
I will continue to make Leah and Zweck Strings our first call when seeking musicians for both public and corporate performances at State Theatre and I regularly encourage many colleagues and clients to do the same.

THE STRING SIRENS
Some contexts call for some feminine energy on stage and The String Sirens are happy to answer the call!
The String Sirens are fiercely talented female identifying musicians excelling in what was once a once male dominated field. They embrace femininity and combine impeccable skills with a passion for glamour.
With serious runs on the board in the classical music scene and extensive experience in the pop industry, The String Sirens are equally at home on the concert platform as in a rock arena.
Starting out in 2004 as a Sydney-based string quartet, The String Sirens have expanded to become a nation-wide phenomenon. They now have teams in all of the major cities in Australia and are the perfect choice for a large range of contexts.
The String Sirens have performed, recorded and toured with many high profile artists including:
Sam Smith, Jessica Mauboy, The Whitlams, Guy Sebastian, Michael Buble’, Kanye’ West, The Veronicas, Glenn Shorrock, Ryan Tedder, Harrison Craig, Pete Murray, The Living End, Delta Goodrem, Il Divo, The Ten Tenors, Human Nature, Bliss N Eso, Anthony Callea, Teddy Geiger, Luke Kennedy, Tommy Lee, Robbie Williams and Katy Perry.
They have appeared on TV shows such as:

I've worked with Leah Zweck and the players from The String Sirens on many occasions – on television, at live events and in the recording studio.
The people in this group are professional, hard-working, easy-going and superb musicians.
John Foreman – Musical Director
I programmed the “String Sirens” as part of the “Reminiscing Tour” (starring Glenn Shorrock, Wendy Matthews and Doug Parkinson).
As a featured act, they opened the second half of the show with their Beatles Medley, which had the audience up and dancing in the aisles.
The “String Sirens” not only brought glamour to the show, but also fun and a real positive energy.
Paul Dellit OAM – Producer, Queensland Performing Arts Centre
The String Sirens are both sassy and classy.
They play with passion, they look sensational, and I have been grateful for their work with ‘Bravo’ at StarCity and with ‘Peter Cousens and Friends’ at the Darling Harbour Winter Festival.
Guy Noble – Conductor/Musical Director/Presenter
