About / Biography

Beach Symphony is a modern strings & vocals band known for their distinctive sound and engaging live performances.

Featuring two cellos with vocals, clarinet, guitar, piano and subtle beats, Beach Symphony blends the warmth and depth of strings with contemporary pop energy — creating a sound that feels both refined and alive. Their layered harmonies and expressive playing bring atmosphere, emotion and momentum to weddings, corporate events and meaningful celebrations.

From elegant background music to high-energy dancefloor moments, Beach Symphony seamlessly shapes the music to suit each event, space and audience. Whether setting the tone for a ceremony, elevating a cocktail hour, or building the energy for a celebration, their sound evolves naturally as the moment unfolds.

To ensure each event feels personal and effortless, Beach Symphony works closely with every client to tailor the music to your vision, venue and guests — offering guidance, flexibility and a calm, professional presence from planning through to performance.

Performance options include:

  • Full professional sound system & sound engineer, carefully balanced to preserve the warmth and intimacy of the music

  • Flexible line-ups: duo, trio, or full band with drummer and full rhythm section

  • Authentic Italian music, including opera, tarantellas and Italian pop, performed on traditional instruments such as piano accordion, mandolin and clarinet

  • Ability to perform unplugged or at limited sound levels when required

  • Instrumental-only sets or vocal-led performances

  • Music that can build organically on the day — from soft strings to upbeat grooves, as the event calls for it

Experience includes:

  • Weddings across NSW, including Pier One (Sydney Harbour), the Hunter Valley, Illawarra, Blue Mountains, South Coast and the Northern Beaches

  • Corporate and private events at prestigious venues such as Grana Privato (Circular Quay) and Capercaille Winery (Hunter Valley)

  • Festivals including the Bastille Festival at Circular Quay, the Italian Festival at Manly Art Gallery, Northern Beaches Music Festival and The Shack

  • Performances at breweries and public events, including Bucketty’s, Manly Life Saving Club and numerous Northern Beaches Council engagements

Beach Symphony offers a modern, strings-led live music experience — elegant, flexible and designed to make every celebration feel unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Our best gig was the corporate event at Capercaillie Winery at the Hunter Valley. Their prestigious Members-Only event. Such fun spinning the night from elegant background music, to filling the dance floor! And the client was super-wonderful!

The best venues have been various spectacular wedding venues such as Pier One (Sydney Harbour) and the award-winning wedding venue Mali Brae Farm at Moss Vale (Illawarra)


What's your favourite type of event?

It's hard to choose between weddings and corporate events! We simply love starting off as elegant strings-led music, moving to toe-tapping joyous acoustic pop, then watching the guests bopping with us with our dance tunes!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We come from a diverse background, from the pub rock scene, to the cafe scene .. even orchestras. This diversity gives us many angles, to ensure our clients and their guests stay entertained and helps keep the night blossoming!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We have 3 favorites! The "Bridgerton" vibe, Fleetwood Mac (for their harmonies & range of music) and Dua Lipa (dancetime) !

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We have 2 typical setups.

The first is our purely acoustic, unplugged setup. We normally arrive 30-45 minutes before showtime, and play either 2 45 minute sets.

Our second typical setup includes our professional sound system with our sound engineer. We usually arrive about 90 minutes to 2 hours beforehand to setup the system & to do testing. This may include our drummer and other musos joining us. We play 3-4 sets, these being:
1) Welcome & ceremony music. (usually elegant strings-led instrumental music, and can include vocal pieces)
2) Mingling/canapes/cocktails music. (usually background with vocals and light beats.)
3) Dance set. May include a heartfelt "first dance", then crowd pleasers until the farewell song!


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we love playing outside!

We just need to be sure our cellos and other tender instruments are protected from direct sun! (they don't like getting hot!)

To give us power outside , we also have a range of silent battery-operated sound equipment.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes, we love to hear what our clients are looking for! These are optional extras, but we love tailoring to make the event unforgettable!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our clients often say:
* we are professional & easy to work with
* they loved the musical journey that we took their guests on
* how we lit their night, whilst also keeping it refined & fun!
