Adrienne - strings that resonate
"I was very fortunate that my children decided to surprise me with a birthday party when I turned 60. Knowing that a cello is my absolute favorite instrument, they hired Adriana for my surprise birthday party. She was incredibly elegant and played like an absolute angel. She entertained us for the entire evening, and the warmth of her cello brought tears to my eyes. Her repertoire is wide, and she was able to play all of my favorite Frank Sinatra songs, as special requests on the evening, flawlessly. I am looking forward to booking her again for more events in the future."
Bohdana HORECKA
"Bohdana and the quartet were as flexible as they are talented. Our bride and groom had a very specific list of musical pieces they wanted performed, and Bohdana and her fellow musicians were accommodating and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, their performance was outstanding and deeply moving, and made a special day even more memorable!"

The booking process was simple and Naomi and the team were very collaborative. We look forward to working with Azul Strings in the future."
