Frequently asked questions

The average price for classical duos on Gig Heaven is £340, with rates from £120 to £850+. Pricing depends on the instruments involved, the musicians' experience and performance length. Popular pairings include violin and piano, cello and harp, and flute and guitar, each offering a different mood and style.

The classical duos for hire come in a variety of instrument pairings, including violin and piano, violin and cello, flute and harp, guitar duo, and many other combinations. The right pairing depends on the style of music and atmosphere you want to create at your event.

Common events for classical duos include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, private parties, gallery openings and any event where elegant live music is desired. A classical duo provides a refined sound that works well as background music or featured entertainment.

Many classical duos have a versatile repertoire that includes arrangements of popular songs, film scores, jazz standards and contemporary hits alongside classical pieces. It is worth checking each duo's profile for their full repertoire or contacting them with specific requests.

Most classical duos need very little: typically just chairs, adequate space and, for some instruments, access to a power outlet. For larger venues, a small amplification system may be useful. It is a good idea to confirm any specific needs with the musicians before the event.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
