Client Comment
“Not only are you very talented musicians but also extremely efficient and professional in the way you deal with the whole proceedings. We were particularly impressed with the manner in which you dovetailed the Shostakovich, Mascagni and Grieg into the ceremony itself as though you had rehearsed with the other participants for weeks – a seamless and enjoyable performance, as was your repertoire for the rest of the afternoon. Many thanks and best regards.”
– Joyce and Mike Head
