The Left Coast Quintet is one of the most unique music groups in San Diego. I've heard them play at a house warming party before. A very 60's mod affair with a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme. They can adapt and arrange all sorts of music. Let's face it, who hears live music any more? Being able to hire a talented group of musicians to play a wide variety of music is fantastic! I'm getting married soon and plan on hiring them to play for our ceremony. If you have a need to class up any event or holiday party, I highly recommend this group!!!

About
The Left Coast Quintet and Trio offer live event and wedding music in the San Diego region! Client satisfaction is our ultimate goal- we can create custom playlists, perform beautiful songs, and really bring a sense of class, elegance, and fun to your next event. Our groups have had the opportunity to perform at some incredible venues, including beaches, atop skyscrapers, and at gorgeous wineries, and people tend to call us because of our unique ability to break down the traditional perceptions of stuffy classical music. We are a down to earth group of professionals who strive to offer a fun way to experience great music and performance.
We offer a large music library, including favorite themes from Hollywood movies, jazz and upbeat swing, custom arrangements of pop music, holiday favorites, ballroom dances, and traditional classical repertoire. We aren't the typical ensemble that plays the same canned stuff, we are hired by unique people who want something different - be it the distinctive full sound of wind instruments, the novel ability to perform whimsical movie themes or smooth jazz licks, or the daring innovatives who want their guests to be amazed by something they've never seen before!
The Left Coast Quintet has brought live music to functions from large groups of over 1,500 people, to intimate settings of 25 music lovers, and we look forward to speaking to you about what we can do to make your event unique, special, and meaningful. Our goal is to include you in our musical family- you aren't just hiring a wind quintet to perform some songs one time, you're welcoming a group who will provide the soundtrack to an amazing day in your life.
