Experience and excellence Estro Armonico has embellished many weddings during the ceremony, the reception and the dinner.
For a church wedding, Estro Armonico can offer organ-violin or organ-cello duets, for example, but also string quartets, even combined with the organ. He can play baroque music (Kanon by Pachhelbel, “Jesu bleibet meine Freude” by Bach…), classical or romantic music (Priesterchor by Mozart, Marriage March by Mendelssohn or Wagner…) and even contemporary music ( Can't help falling in love, All of me …) To give an upscale touch to your wedding reception or dinner, Estro Armonico can provide discreet and noble background music. For example, in a baroque trio or quartet (1 or 2 violins; a violin and a flute, 1 cello, 1 harpsichord), in a string quartet that can interpret all styles (from baroque to pop, The Beatles style, including classical music, romantic music, music from the 20s…), or in a slightly larger formation to play lounge music (Tangos, Rag Times) Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss all aspects of the project. Here's how we do it together:
Tell us the date and place of the event
Define with us the form of the performance, the number of musicians and the type of music desired
Estro Armonico asbl will make an estimate according to the collected data. The amount invoiced will never exceed the amount of the estimate.
If it is a question of music during the ceremony, you must define with the priest / the commune the details: at which moment during the ceremony music is desired and the location of the musicians
Possibly visit with us the place of the event, in order to decide the best location for the musicians.
Estro Armonico has experience and repertoire in many different formations: from a duet with organ to small salon orchestra to string quartet, our ensemble will find a tailor-made solution with you.
violin / cello and organ duo
trio violin, cello and harpsichord
flute, cello and harpsichord trio
baroque quartet (violin, flute, cello and harpsichord)
string quartet (2 violins, viola, cello) baroque music, classical, romantic, 20s, pop
lounge orchestra (solo violin, 2 violins, viola, cello, double bass and possibly piano)
Estro Armonico can perform the entire service on its own. However, if you have an organist, a choir or a singer, for example, that you would like to include in the program, this is absolutely possible. We are flexible in this matter and can also help you to find other musicians if necessary.
It is necessary to calculate 1 square meter per musician.
In general, musicians play seated, with a music stand. Cellists cannot play standing up. The ensemble can of course move around if the venue allows for several places large enough to play, but it takes some time to move the music stands to another place.
In principle, during your contact with the priest in charge, you define together with him how many musical interventions you wish, and at what times. Together we will then define which works will be played at which time.
The musical instruments used are very sensitive and cannot be exposed to the sun or rain. If the conditions of shelter are given, there is nothing to prevent a beautiful musical party in a park or on a terrace. However, the instruments sound less loud in the open air. For large parties, several groups of different formations (with or without wind instruments) can be considered.
The instruments used are usually played without a sound system. A small ensemble gives a "high-end" touch to your event. Guests usually like to converse and too much loud music would disturb them. For very large events and if you want all the guests to hear the music well, you can consider a sound system, but in principle it is not necessary.
It is necessary to define where the musicians will be placed in the church and if there is enough room to play. If the church organ is included in the ceremony, we must check if it is well tuned.
