CONTEMPORARY – POPULAR- JAZZ STANDARDS
I’m frequently revising our lists as we gather new music
“Hi, Sherry! I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you for helping make our special day even more special. You and the cellist knocked it out of the park and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I hope all’s well, and let me know if there’s a good place to leave a review, I’ll give you six stars if I can :)San Francisco City Hall clients, June 2024″
“Thank you so much for the beautiful music you provided for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past January! Strings were something we knew we wanted after seeing you perform at the Wedgewood wedding fair. It was a pleasure working with you.” Best, Stefanie and Moeez A.

“The couple was truly thrilled and said it was the “wedding of their dreams!” Wedding planner for August ’13, Mission Santa Clara
“I just wanted to thank you and the other musicians in the string trio for such a great performance on Saturday. The selections fit the mood perfectly. Thanks again for a top notch performance” Ben M., St. Helena August, ’11
“Great, great job last night! I had many comments on your beautiful playing and wonderful choice of repertoire; many were surprised and very pleased to hear not only the classical pieces but some of the show tunes and even some with a Latin feel. Many expressed to me that they had never dreamed that a string trio could provide so much diversity. Well done! Your music delighted the ear, touched the heart, and enhanced the evening for everyone. And as always, the musicianship was superb. Many thanks!” J.P.
