A place in the complete shadow if planned outside
We need to know information about the possibility to load equipment close to the setting place of our instruments
Yes, we’re completely self contained. As a classical oriented musician I use to play unplugged with an optional ampli for the voice if required according to the peculiarities if the event
Yes, I have a small ampli for a "music corner", or I could provide a full DJ service beside the ceremony/cocktail hour/ event service
One of the most important events I've been a part was the Salone dei Cinquecento in Florence Palazzo Vecchio. It was a historical reenactment of a Medici family celebration featuring period costumes, live music, and period dance, where I performed as the lead vocalist and played harp and viola da gamba.
I regulary perform in Florence Palazzo della Signoria for weddings in the Sala Rossa and in many other palaces in Florence.
I love playing for weddings and anniversaries because it’s a privilege to be part of such a special day in people's lives
I started singing and performing at weddings at a young age as a child prodigy, and I haven't stopped since
I’m influenced more by artists' lives than by their actual work. For instance, Santana’s life story had a huge impact on me, even though I don't play his music
We normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. I normally perform for the ceremony and for the cocktail hour. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade
We can learn specific songs before the event. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
