Alicia Randisi-Hooker played for my daughter's wedding. She performed beautifully and everyone loved her. She helped us find appropriate music and learned new music that we wanted played. Communication was excellent. She was on time, very professional and lovely to work with.

The quartet arrived on time as requested for a dress rehearsal. Musicians were well prepared and even saved my tail when I had given them the wrong music! They played beautifully at our concert and all my patrons were wowed. These people are professionals and their price is quite reasonable. I would be glad to book them again for another concert anytime!

Thank you so much, Merritt! It was a joy to work with you and your excellent choristers. We hope to see you again!
Alicia was exceptional to work with! She performed at my mother's funeral and was so helpful in assisting with the selection of songs. She arrived on time and my family was blown away with her musical talent. She was the perfect addition to my mother's homegoing.

Additional Booking Notes
While we are flexible and want to reach a wide audience, we also have a few basic needs! The following things will help us give you our very best!
For strings only, it's vitally important to have some sort of canopy or cover for outdoor events, or a shelter in case of inclement weather. Fine wooden string instruments cannot be exposed to the elements, including direct hot, bright sunlight, which can damage the varnish and cause tuning problems which can impact the way we sound.
For performances with piano, we need a well-maintained instrument that has been recently tuned in order to sound our best for you.
