Music For Special Occasions
Choosing music for a special occasion can be difficult – the occasion needs to be memorable, but the music shouldn’t be intrusive. You’ll be pleased to discover that, through years of experience in settings ranging from St. Patrick’s Cathedral to an intimate house party, I can provide a variety of ensembles and a broad range of musical styles to suit any occasion. Below is just a sample of titles and composers available in any number of combinations. I specialize in music for flute and strings, for an ensemble of three musicians. This combo is easily expanded to include an additional stringed instrument to make a quartet. Flute with harp or flute with guitar are also lovely combinations for your special event. Free estimates provided upon request. To hold a date, a 50% deposit is required, non-refundable only with thirty days or more advance notice.
All of the works listed below and many others will be included in your event pricing. Should you require a special arrangement of a favorite song not readily available in your preferred ensemble configuration, an additional arranging fee will be assessed, upon your approval.
I pride myself on the professionalism and courteousness with which the musicians I engage conduct themselves.
