At it's core, Suite Elegance offers a very diverse repertoire and several ensemble options. The most obvious is the quartet: Flute, Violin, Viola and Cello. Here is an example of this ensemble from our 2009 Holiday Benefit Concert:
From the quartet, we offer two trio options - one being Flute, Violin OR Viola, and Cello. The powerful tones of the flute add a unique musical diversity to this ensemble. It is powerful enough for the largest of venues and requires no amplification:
The other option for a trio would be Violin, Viola and Cello. This ensemble is very well matched in that you have 3/4's of the String Family represented. Again, this ensemble is powerful enough to fill most venues and does not require amplification:
For the smaller or more budget-conscious venues, Suite Elegance has several duet options to consider, each with its own unique personality. The most popular option would be Violin and Cello, but that takes nothing from the beauty of the Flute and Viola! Thankfully, Suite Elegance's main body of repertoire permits any combination of instruments, so it truly is a matter of taste as to which a client might prefer. Here are some examples of a couple of our duos. There are many more videos and sound bytes in our gallery - be sure to stop in there frequently and see what we've been up to!
