Events may take place indoors or outdoors. We provide the chairs, stands, signage, and microphones for our performing artists, as well as a tent for outdoor performances. Hosts are expected to provide a power supply if necessary. Our performing artists will introduce musical selections to the audience throughout the concert.
Outdoor performances must take place between 50° F and 90° F for the safety of our performing artists and their instruments. In the event of rain, we will not be able to perform and will seek an available date to reschedule. Audience members are expected to provide their own seating for outdoor events, such as blankets or camping chairs.

Our casual events encourage informal attire, food & drink during the performance, and pets (we love pets!). Casual concerts can be indoors or outdoors. The vibe is low-key, fun and welcoming. Our performing artists will emphasize accessible talking points and dress more comfortably themselves.
Our traditional events are more formal, akin to what one would expect when attending a concert in a recital hall. Attire is more formal (cocktail or semiformal), food & drink is not allowed during the performance, and non-service animals are not allowed. The vibe is focused while remaining welcoming. Our performing artists will offer more in-depth talking points and dress more formally.
As the host, you can customize your event! Want a casual event with no pets? Want your guests to dress up but be able to snack during the performance? No problem. Communicating your event preferences with us allows us to curate a fantastic experience for you and your guests.

We are equally comfortable playing classical and popular styles. We offer a wide diversity of programs from the standard classical repertoire, ranging from works composed in the 18th century to present day.
Not sure classical music is your jam? We love to intersperse arrangements of popular tunes written by the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Scott Joplin, John Williams, and more.
Sample Classical / Pops Program
We also offer holiday programs for Valentine’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas. Our most popular program to date includes The Neighborhood Nutcracker, where we perform Pytor Tchaikovsky’s beloved “Nutcracker Ballet” in sync with a live projection of the ballet.
