The Silver Strings Harp/Violin Duo play a mixture of solo and duet pieces from a variety of classical composers. Their musical director is always present to coordinate the timing of the music at the critical points during a wedding or to suggest appropriate pieces for the moment. Why would I want to hire a harp/violin duo? Live music performed by trained classical musicians adds energy and interest to any event. The musicians are sensitive to the emotional climate of the event and can tailor their music to appropriately match the desired mood of the moment. They are a joy to watch as well since they take true pleasure in their art. Their smiles and genuine warmth are contagious as they perform. Live musicians can make the wedding or event appear perfectly choreographed when the little, unanticipated moments of life happen, such as the bride or other family member arriving late or hesitating before walking down the aisle. Live music also helps to provide a smooth and seamless transition for the variable amount of time in between the ceremony and the reception, while guests are entering or leaving, or during poignant moments that are best marked with music, rather than words. But aren't they a little young? Don't let their youthful appearance fool you! The Silver Strings Harp/Violin Duo play with precision and accuracy that comes from hours and years of practicing and performing. For the majority of their pieces, they play by memory and without printed music since the music has long been committed to their fingers and ears. They just like to play for fun, so they practice a lot on their own and together! Where additional musical selection or oversight is needed, the musical director provides immediate guidance during an event. Take a listen to a sample recording and hear for yourself.
