We are Abby Mungai and Gretta Grzadziel, and we are a violin/viola dream team! We have been performing together as a duo for a few years now, and have been best friends even longer. Our musical styles include classical and Celtic music. We can also sing! If you need music for your restaurant, pub, indoor or outdoor event, wedding, party, church service, Renaissance fair, or anything else, we're your girls! We play individually as well. We are willing to travel throughout Elgin and surrounding cities, and times and prices are negotiable.

We can play standing or seated, stools would also be desirable. We will provide our instruments, music, music stands, and our lovely selves, and all we will need will be a microphone for each of us for a larger venue, and optional seating arrangements. We will play for whatever length of time you desire for your event, and can play a variety of classical and Celtic arrangements made specifically for our duo. Our music is ideal for restaurants, pubs, parties, weddings, Renaissance fairs, church services, indoor and outdoor events, and anything else requiring background music or a main musical event!
Abby Mungai is a professional violinist and has played in countless orchestral, pit orchestra, opera, fiddling, walking, chamber, and solo performances. Abby is also a skilled singer, composer/songwriter, cellist, electric bassist, saxophonist, and steel drummer.
Gretta Grzadziel is a professional violist who has also played in many orchestral, pit orchestra, fiddling, walking, chamber and solo performances on her instrument. She is a very talented singer as well, and has been making music since 2003.
We are just two string players looking to make music for local venues and events, specializing in classical and Celtic styles. We hope to make each performance memorable with great songs!
We can play at any venue, and will provide our own music stands. Amplification systems including microphone and speaker system should be provided by location. Generally, for a medium or larger sized venue, two standard microphones should be sufficient.
We have a variety of jigs, medleys, reels, ballads, and other songs prepared and personally arranged for us. This means we've written the music to all our strengths, leading to an even better performance for you.
