The Reception

We offer a varied selection of beautiful music

to catch the mood of the occasion. We can

also include the light classical music of George

Gershwin or some traditional pieces if requested.

Tell us what you enjoy listening to and we will perform it.

At Christmas time we offer delightful performances of Christmas carols and lively festive music played on both ancient and modern instruments. We perform for tree lighting ceremonies, Christmas parties, weddings, Christmas dinners and events indoors or outside where lively seasonal music can add a jolly and memorable festive touch. Where appropriate we can wear striking scarlet gowns to further enhance the festive feel.
