Small ensembles are great for classy and casual events. Pick one of the following:

String Solo: violin
String Duo: violin/violin, violin/viola, violin/cello
String Trio: violin/viola/cello , violin/violin, cello
String Quartet: violin/violin/viola/cello

(Number of musicians should be chosen based on size of the venue, audience, etc.)

Primarily classical music is played. Other genres may be requested at an additional cost.

Please ask if you have questions!

However - good lighting, weather coverage, and chairs without arm rests are all very important!
