Testimonials:

I can't recommend Leah highly enough. She has fixed several orchestras for me over the last few years and on every occasion has come up with exactly what is required, and on budget.
Baz Archer
The Music House

String Source has become a valuable resource for State Theatre when negotiating with promoters and corporate clients. We have used their services several times - recently for a major music festival where they accompanied one of the headline acts, The Whitlams. Leah brings not only first class musicians and musicianship but also impeccably presented talent. I will continue to make Leah and String Source 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.
John Glenn | General Manager
State Theatre

Leah has contracted musicians for me for several events. On each occasion she has provided musicians appropriate to the context of the production, who have been both professional and easy to work with. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Leah's services to anyone who requires a competent, creative industry professional who is able to provide the most suitable musicians for exactly the right occasion.
