Every performance is special, but one of our most memorable gigs was at a private wedding in a historic Tuscan villa, where the intimate atmosphere and stunning surroundings made the music feel truly magical. As for venues, we have been fortunate to perform at some of the finest hotels and historic estates in Veneto and Tuscany, including Palazzo Venart in Venice and Borgo Santo Pietro in Chiusdino, both of which combine elegance, history, and breathtaking settings.

Wedding and Events

Our musicians come from diverse professional backgrounds, including conservatory training, orchestras, chamber ensembles, and solo careers. We began gigging by performing at local events, weddings, and private parties, gradually building a reputation for professionalism, elegance, and musical versatility. Over time, we expanded to luxury venues and high-profile events across Veneto and Tuscany, combining classical mastery with a passion for creating unforgettable experiences.

Our musical style is influenced by a wide range of classical and contemporary artists. For classical music, we draw inspiration from composers such as Bach, Debussy, and Ravel, while our interpretations are also shaped by legendary performers like Itzhak Perlman, Martha Argerich, and Yo-Yo Ma.

Choosing a single favorite artist is difficult, but we deeply admire musicians who combine technical mastery with emotional expression. Similarly, while there’s no definitive “greatest song of all time,” we believe that pieces that touch the heart and endure through generations—such as Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” or Debussy’s “Clair de Lune”—represent the timeless power of music.
