Yes, we love to play in the beautiful Colorado (and other states) mountains! Extra fees apply for events outside the Denver Metro area, dirt roads, gondolas, snowcat rides, shuttles, etc. For some mountain locations, overnight accomodations and per deum may apply. MORE INFO
Yes, most of our summer events are outdoors. We will need to have plenty of shade and a dry, flat area (10' x10'). We have a canopy option if you have no shaded area. There is a fee for the canopy rental. Beacuse the instruments are made of antique wood, the temperature must be between 60 and 95 degrees F MORE INFO
We love to play new music but since we are a string quartet we need all of the music to be written out. We rarely find a song that cannot be done but sometimes getting it arranged for a string quartet can take some doing. We find our music from many sources; we purchase it, we trade with other quartets around the world, but most often we write them out ourselves. The fee for special requests can vary depending on the estimated time the arrangement will take.
We usually wear all black, with men in black suits, with either a white or black shirt. Have a preference? Just request it. In the warm months, we can also wear black & white in various combinations. We also can go with various colors and jeans for a more casual look.
We are happy to meet with you about your event! Our home office is near I-225 and Parker Rd., close to the Cherry Creek State Park. Contact us about an in-person consultation over tea, coffee, and treats, along with some impromptu live music.
Winter occasions can be dicey...especially in the mountains. Depending on the time of day of your event, we may ask to be put up in a hotel for the night following your event, or beforehand, if you have an early start time. Generally speaking, if the main highway to get to your event is closed (I-25 or I-70) due to a blizzard, we cannot be expected to be there. In this case, no refund is given; the risk is yours.
Certain situations may arise that could force you to change basic information on our contract. Please let us know as soon as possible so that we may relay the new information to our musicians and issue you a new contract. Contractual changes made less than four weeks prior to the event may incur added charges, especially if a new contract needs to be issued. Examples of contractual changes: instrumentation changes (such as going from a piano trio to a string quartet), start or stop time changes, or a location change. Small changes may not require a new contract.
Yes, to be placed on our books, a 50% deposit is required along with a signed contract.
We have sound equipment for nearly any occasion. Most weddings and smaller events do not require extra sound reenforcement. For larger events, we can bring microphones, speakers and whatever is required to ensure that your event is amazing. Just ask and we can get you in touch with Dan, our sound tech, to assess your needs and give you a quote for the system.
Yes. We have singers in both classical and pop styles. We can also accompany your own singer. We require a brief rehearsal when we perform with singers. The best way is to reserve some time (30-60 minutes) before the start of your prelude for rehearsal right at your ceremony site.
