I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
We have been very busy with many different events, packaging and sending information for future concerts and wih our wedding performances.
Wedding Stand Outs: 6/26/10 at the Central Park Zoo!
While performing for the Bride, the Sea Lions swam and danced within our sight!
7/9/10 at the beautiful O Bryne Chapel at Reid Castle on grounds of Manhattanville College for a lovely (although warm inside with no AC!) ceremony followed by a cocktail hour at the Fountainhead of New Rochelle. Kristin and Dave were a beautiful couple and so nice and gracious. It was a pleasure to perform for them on their most special day! We performed their requests at the cocktail hour which included "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica and "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles. Their wedding Recessional was "Bittersweet Symphony".
7/10/10, The Tides Estate in N. Haledon, NJ. Although it was a rainy day, the warmth and all the love between Robert and Diana gave the effect of a sunny day. It was great being there! Their Recessional was the very opening strains of "Wedding March" flowing into "Bittersweet Symphony".
7/16/10, Lands End in Sayville, NY (Long Island south shore) for Leighann and Marlon. An absolutely stunning couple. Their ceremony was held outdoors very close to the ocean. The winds were picking up, the humidity was high, the sun was shining and the bride and groom were radiant.
We performed an all rock song ceremony for them including "All I Want is You" by U2 for their bridal Party, "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin for Leighann's entrance and their Recessoinal was "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. At the cocktail hour we performed all of their requests which included:
"Just Like Heaven", the Cure, "Never Tear us Apart", INXS, "Paranoid", Black Sabbath, "Eleanor Rigby", the Beatles, "November Rain" by Guns n Roses, and "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve.

Concert and Montauk
The concert performance was a great experience. Although a concert at 10 AM is not as customary as a concert at 1 PM or 7 or 8 PM we did our very bestand I was able to video the entire performance. Working on and performing the gorgeous and rarely played "Intermezzo" (featured in film of same title in the 1940's starring Ingrid Bergman and Leslie Howard) by Heinz Provost was a treat to play.
This past weekend I travelled out to Montauk NY for a beachside performance.
The staff of the venue, Gurney's Inn, is great. They are very professional and hospitable. The inn sets above the sea and the views are magnificent.
The performance was by just me as a Solo Violinist for a ceremony held at the beach. The music was a mix of soft romantic classical and contemporary songs old n new for the seating of the guests. The Processionals were "Air" from Watermusic (appropriate for the seaside setting!) and "Canon in D" by Pachelbel for the bride.
The Recessional was as in the home page of our website: Selection is...
"Ode to Joy" by Beethoven flowing into "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. For exit pieces I also performed "Here Comes the Sun" and "When I'm 64".
The Bride and Groom were beautiful and looked very happy after the ceremony as they went onto the beach itself for more pics!
Afterwards I travelled out to Monatauk Pt. with my hubby who was travelling with me for the day and we enjoyed the area and the lighthouse and took some pretty photos out there. We then travelled up to Sag Harbor where I was able to do a little shopping and enjoy the pretty harbor itself.
All in all 6/5/10 was a beautiful day!

End of April Performances!
This month came to a close with 3 very fun weddings which we were honored to be a part of!
The first was the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour of Megan and Rob at the Glen Island Harbour Club on 4/23/10.
The bride was stunning and the groom ever so gracious. Our string trio performed traditional Processional music and we performed "In my Life" by the Beatles, selected by the bride and groom for the Recessional music.
At the cocktail hour they opted for the string trio to perform all vintage and contemporary songs from Cole Porter to Cold Play! It was alot of fun and the guests enjoyed the recognizable songs we performed from "All You Need is Love", "When I'm 64", to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "Clocks"!
On April 24th, a totally magnificent weather day with clear skies and beautifully comofortable temperatures hovering in the low 60's, I travelled to Brooklyn to perform with our cellist to form a String Duo for the Ceremony of the lovely and wonderful couple Heather and Matt!
The church was beautiful and historic. The Deacon and the music director were very nice and hospitable to work with.
The bride was absolutely stunning and radiant> I do not think I have ever seen a bride (except for me at my own wedding!) smiling so beautifully and with such sparkle on her wedding day as Heather was!
The ceremony was perfect, everything was on schedule and they were off to a park in Brooklyn to take more pic's before heading out to their venue for the reception which was the Jericho Terrace in Mineola NY.
A shout out to "Double Diamond Limousine Co". I thought the drivers were all being so nice and so helpful to everyone. They were polite, courteous and serving champagne. the cars looked great. I have never met them before however I was really impressed by the cars, the guys and their nice demeanor and how polite and professional they were!
Our weekend concluded with a very touching ceremony held at "The Narrow Door Pentacostal Church" on Sherman Avenue in Northern Manhattan...very north as in Inwood.
We performed once again as a Duet of Violin and Cello. We began performing out music for the arrival of the guests at 3:10 PM. I was very touched at how the staff of the church was cleaning everywhere when we arrived.
There was also a gentleman from the church who offered us both a special parking pass to double park near the church (very nice gesture for us) however we were both already parked safely.
We performed an eclectic mix of selections for the seating of guests from Duets by Telemann to arrangements of music from Wastermusic by Handel, to Spanish songs such as "Cuando Caliente el Sol" and "Sulamente una Vez" as well as "Can You feel the Love tonight".
The selected Processionals were:
"Canon in D" for the Seating of Mothers and 2 sets of God Parents
"Wedding Song" by Kenny G for the Bridesmaids, 2 Flower Girls and 1 Ring bearer
"Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion for the Bride's entrance with her Father.
The Bride recieved astounding applause from the congregation as she processed down the aisle and she looked amazaing..very beautiful!
Our good friend and colleauge Tara from Exquisite Affairs Productions was on hand to help everyone and to provide us with cues and it was lovely to see her as she had had a baby boy recently who is adorable and she looked GREAT.
We wish Margie and Kerlin....as well as
Heather and Matt (4/24/10)
