Two cultures combine in Queens - 22 June 2013

We had to great opportunity to provide lovely piano and string music for a Filipino/Catholic wedding ceremony. Incorporating elements of each culture, the clients chose soothing reverent pieces to accompany the many traditions associated with their individual upbringings. We worked with the music director to provide a program respectful of the venue and the loving ceremony.

Married in the Museum?! - 08 June 2013

Is it summer already? Wow, it got hot! The client decided to celebrate the beginning of summer with a wedding in the glassy lobby of the Brooklyn Museum. We performed a very refined program of classical and baroque pieces to much the guests' enjoyment. The ceremony was a mixture of Jewish and Latino traditions with two unity ceremonies. Never played in a museum before and we've got to say: this one will be hard to beat!
