Upbeat plucky string/orchestra music

Hello, I need to host a garden party for a bunch of classical music/string playing fans in four hours. I'm looking for string chamber music that is not overly dramatic and does not have lots of sudden loud/soft dynamics (tall order I know) Ravel's String Quartet in F part II- Assez vif, Très rythmé is a good example.

Haydn or Mozart quartets are also going to generally fit this bill.

Le Jardin Mouillé for some harp? Not exactly string quartet but plucky. Inspired by a poem about a rainy garden

Boccherini quartets or quintets would also be good.

Bacewicz's String Quartet No. 3 is a good bet, as is Martinů's Sextet (though the beginning is a little dramatic). As a bonus, they aren't extremely well-known.
