If your Special Event requires classical music to create the atmosphere you seek, SeaSoundStudio ENTERTAINMENT represents Soloists, Duos, Trios and Quartets with your choice of vocalists and instruments. Our musicians can accommodate you with any style of music from Bach to Rock!
To select from the various types of classical ensembles, it is helpful to understand that a string quartet (comprised of 2 violins, a viola, and cello) has a fuller sound and greater depth of harmonic complexity than a string trio. Each different ensemble combination has its own unique sound due to the timbre created by the blending of the instruments.
Certain musicians are highlighted below, but contact SeaSoundStudio with your specific entertainment need because we have access to a large network of musicians in addition to those identified on this page.
