Menu / Price List

SOLO PLAYER

mellow, acoustic background music for your event....

Cellist or Pianist Alone

Starting at $200/first hour

light classical to contemporary... standards.

EXTRAS (long hours, travel, custom tunes...)

Negotiable

If you need a longer session, the hourly can be adjusted - e.g., the second hour might go to $150, the third hour to an additional $100, etc.... Special Order Music requests may involve quite a lot of preparation, which we'd need to account for... More than an hour travel one way, might need to be compensated, etc.... We promise you'll be glad you enlisted an experienced Cage-Free Musician to perfectly complement your event.

Ensembles...

We can offer classical/standard duos, trios and string quartets, or work with you to form your fantasy ensemble (say, Oboe, Nyckelharpa and Banjo!?)... In most cases - we do need at the very least 30 days advance notice and a deposit to book a group . . . . Let's Talk!

Standard Duo, Trio or Quartet

Starting at $600/first hour

This Category includes our Stable of Cage-Free Players (Broceliande, West Side Strings or "A Capriccio").... Ready to go at the drop of a hat, but DO give us ample time to fit you into our schedules ;*) We will be adding other ready-to-ride groups, as we go....

Above/Beyond

TBD

If we need to reach outside our stable of players - we still have a super talent pool just a phone call away, so standard fees may apply, but we'd need to see about special cases and possibly charge accordingly. The given prices here are more guidelines to give you a ballpark estimate.... Again, custom repertoire requiring arrangements and/or extra rehearsing will need to be compensated.... We may compile an exhaustive price table, but every instance is different and we like to remain flexible..
