Are you getting married in Italy or having a special event to celebrate? Do you need a music ensemble to entertain a special night? From opera arias to string quartet, from piano solo to Neapolitan songs or cabaret, we collaborate with lots of professional musicians, singers and ensembles and can provide various proposals to suit your needs.
 Solo Violin:
A solo violin is ideal for a romantic wedding ceremony or quiet occasion. Not suitable for dinner entertainment or noisy situations.
Simone C. is a young Tuscan violinist with 10 years’ experience playing as Lead Violin in numerous orchestras, touring many European countries, but also performing in chamber music or alone for special ceremonies and occasions. He also founded his own cultural association and teaches violin in privat schools. Simone plays mainly classical pieces but can also adapt to special requests.

Piano Solo:
A solo pianist is good for any occasion, as the piano is a “complete instrument” on his own. The only limitation regards… the instrument itself. Is there already a piano in the venue you are having your event at? If not, is there room enough to place one? Piano rental and tuning costs can be quite high, depending on the location of the venue. The second option is to opt for a keyboard, which is relatively easy to transport, but doesn’t sound exactly the same. If in doubt, just ask.
Francesca M. is a young Tuscan pianist with extended experience in playing for musical events and ceremonies. She has a classical background and teaches in many schools of the Florentine area, but also loves to perform pop or jazzy songs, therefore you might ask her in advance to prepare your favorite aria, song or karaoke, and she will do it!

Piano – Violin Duet:
A good and romantic option, suitable for most events or ceremonies. The same limitations as for the “piano solo” option apply, as regards instrument rental.
Simone C. and Francesca M. have years’ experience in playing in duo, and they are quite open to satisfy personal requests.

String Quartet:
If you are looking for a classy music accompaniment for your event, a string quartet is definitely an excellent choice, as the two-violins, one-viola, one-cello composition is regarded as the supreme one in chamber music. Make sure there is space and light enough for 4 seated musicians at your venue. We can offer two options to choose from, according to your needs and style.
Alma R. Quartet: an elegant all-women quartet adapted for musical entertainment during an aperitif or dinner. Their repertoire is mainly classical and light-hearted, ranging from Baroque pieces to Mozart quartets, from famous pieces such as “Wedding March” and Strauss’ walzers to classic adaptations of musicals.
A. Quartet: a quartet made up of four young Tuscan professionals who can offer proper concerts and performances, with an extended repertoire to choose from.

Latin-Jazz Trio:
A very talented and highly-acclaimed trio made up of 2 acoustic guitars and a flute, with a repertoire ranging from jazz to tango to flamenco… and everything in-between! Perfect for lounge and relaxed atmospheres. One of the Florentines’ favourites!
^top
Jazz-Blues Trio/Quartet:
A versatile ensemble based on an acoustic guitar and a double-bass, plus a singer or a saxophone/clarinet player to form the trio, and adding drums or a jazz violinist for the quartet.
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing…

Classical Guitar Quartet:
4 young acoustic guitar players, awarded with prizes in numerous contests, with a repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary pieces, including favourite Tango, Flamenco and Brazilian pieces.
Adapted for quiet situations and performances.
