On average, a professional classical ensemble costs $400-$700. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the size of the ensemble, the duration of the performance, and the ensemble’s reputation. Popular groups with lots of experience will often charge more.
Classical ensembles can vary in size and instrumentation. Common options include string quartets, string trios, piano trios, brass quintets, woodwind quintets, and full symphony orchestras.
A typical performance by a classical ensemble can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the program and the client’s preferences. For longer events, you’ll want to schedule breaks every 30-45 minutes so the musicians can rest and hydrate.
Classical music is perfect for any occasion that needs an elegant and sophisticated ambiance, from private parties to public events. For example, you could hire a string quartet to perform at your wedding ceremony or cocktail hour. Or, a small classical ensemble could play beautiful chamber music as guests mingle during your corporate event, art gallery opening, or holiday party.
Many classical ensembles are flexible and can create all kinds of unique and contemporary arrangements. This often includes classical twists on modern music like movie soundtracks, pop songs, or even rock tunes.
Most classical ensembles allow clients to have some input in the setlist for their event. You can request specific pieces, styles, or themes. However, keep in mind that not all classical music will be suitable for certain instruments or ensembles, so you should discuss your requests with the musicians in advance.
While many classical ensembles are willing to play outdoors, it’s essential to protect the performers and their instruments from adverse weather conditions such as rain, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures. Acoustics and electrical requirements should also be considered when planning an outdoor performance.
