Phoenix String trio
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)
              Violin Duet at Oak Creek in Sedona

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.
