We offer four different ensemble options (Solo, Duo, Trio, Quartet) and five different instruments (harp, guitar, violin, viola, and cello).

 

Any of our instruments can Solo.  Duos can include harp or guitar, as well as violin, viola or cello.  Trios and Quartets will be composed of violin, viola and cello for trios, with an additional violin added to create a quartet.

So many options.  How do I choose?

The size and type of events best suited for solo, duo, trio, and quartet string performances vary based on the desired atmosphere, the venue, and the number of attendees.

 

Each ensemble size offers a unique musical experience, allowing for flexibility in matching the performance to the event's ambiance and scale.
