A classical duo typically refers to a live band consisting of two musicians who play classical music, often with a combination of classical instruments such as piano, violin, cello, flute, or guitar.
On average, a professional classical duo costs $400-$600. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the performance length, and the duo’s experience. Highly-skilled classical musicians may charge more but are often worth the additional cost!
On GigSalad, classical duos are often booked for 1-hour performances. However, most musicians are able to work with the needs of your specific event. Just keep in mind that longer performances will often require breaks so musicians have time to rest, use the restroom, and get a drink.
Classical duos typically provide their own instruments and may bring their own sound system if needed. Discuss equipment needs with your performers and your venue in advance to ensure everything is set for a successful performance.
When selecting a classical duo for your party or event, consider their musical expertise, experience, repertoire, and compatibility with your event’s theme or style. You may also want to listen to their sample recordings or attend their live performances, if possible, to ensure their musical style matches your preferences.
Many classical duos are open to taking requests for specific songs or pieces, especially if they are given ample notice before the event. However, keep in mind that not all classical music may be suitable for certain instruments or ensembles, so it’s best to discuss your requests with the duo in advance.
Classical duos can perform outdoors, but it’s important to consider factors such as weather conditions, acoustics, and electrical requirements. Outdoor performances may require additional equipment or accommodations, so be sure to discuss these details with the duo and provide a suitable performance space.
Live classical music is a great way to enhance the ambiance at all types of events. It’s especially fitting for formal and semi-formal public and private events where lovely background music is needed as your guests mingle. You can book classical duos for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, corporate events, fundraisers, tea parties, art galleries, and more.
