The Harbor Islands Duo is a polished and versatile violin and piano duo with an exceptionally lush sound. We offer professional musical entertainment throughout New England for weddings, holiday parties, and other special occasions. Violinist Charlotte Gopinath and pianist Brian Friedland have performed in concert halls, jazz clubs and cafes across the US and toured with renowned artists such as the Glenn Miller Orchesra and Il Divo. Both are graduates from USC's Thornton School of Music, and Brian also graduated from the New England Conservatory.
Charlotte & Brian played at our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this June, and the music was absolutely phenomenal--very polished but full of life, one of my favorite parts of the ceremony! They were happy to learn a song off their repertoire that we wanted for the recessional and it sounded AMAZING. They made the process really easy as well--great communication, and no trouble with setup in a new location. If we were getting married again (or just hosting a big fancy party) we'd hire them again in a heartbeat... but hopefully we're done with all that!
I hired the Harbor Islands Duo three years in a row for my annual party. They did an outstanding job each time. They are very professional and the guests loved their music. The first year we booked solo piano, the second year we booked the violin and piano duo, and the third year we hired them to provide a jazz combo. The music was phenomenal and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy with everything. I recommend the Harbor Islands Duo for your next event! Thanks for doing such a great job.
Price Range: $350-800
Gig Length: 30 - 300 minutes
The Harbor Islands Duo plays a wide variety of music--from classical favorites to jazz standards to pop music. We have a great selection of holiday songs and wedding music, and are happy to play any music you request. We enjoy working with clients to develop a program of music that will set the perfect mood for your special occasion.
We are versatile and can also change our instrumentation to accommodate special requests. We are also very portable as our pianist has a high quality keyboard when no piano is available and his own portable power source if need be.
