The flute, violin and cello combination is a big favourite for weddings and a bit different from the usual string trio with the flute playing the melody. The trio provides up to three hours of delightful classical music. Based in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, the group is available for bookings in the Cape and Winelands areas, but not restricted to, so please enquire of our availability.

… and much much more!
For wedding ceremonies we play more Baroque style or well-know church pieces, as well as the Wedding March (we play them all) or a song of your choice. Let us know your requests and we’ll do our best to play it on the day.
We can accompany hymns and songs or Praise & Worship. For P&W we require a guitarist and/ keyboardist and vocalist to join us, as the combination of classical instruments can not bring over a beat needed to support a congregation/ wedding guests. The cost of the extra musicians will be presented to you in the quote. Feel free to contact us should you have any questions.
Booking info
Please enquire for current rate. We may charge an additional amount for petrol. We ask no deposit, but for cash on the day or electronic payment in the week before the event.
We need 3 chairs – without armrests and space of about 2mx3m to ensure we don’t have to dodge people or flower arrangements while we play. Our instruments can not be in direct sunlight/ rain/ wind or on the beach. In case of the event being outdoors, please make sure there is enough shade and shelter.
Our usual dress code is all black for afternoon and evenings or black and white for mornings. You can let us know the colours or theme of your party or wedding and we can ad a splash of colour accordingly.
