 A
string trio is ideal for small intimate settings. The addition of a lower
string instrument to a duet makes a rich sound. People often choose a trio as
it is less expensive than a full string quartet. Most of our arrangements
work well as a trio. ( fee schedule)

Duet: (usually 2 violins)

A
string duet is an elegant addition to any occasion. We can provide you
with any combination of string instruments. The most requested duet is two violins.
Many of our arrangements are written for larger ensembles. The two
violin parts the inner harmonies and moving parts often not found in the lower
strings.
There is also a large repertoire of
standard duets written specifically for two violins. ( fee schedule )
 
Soloists:
  Our
musicians all perform as soloists. We recommend a violin as your choice for a
solo string instrument as there is much more music to choose from. Pianists
and Organists are also a nice choice and have an incredible repertoire
available.
