Alban Classical

Volunteering at the St. Vincent de Paul Society Thanksgiving Dinner (we also played their Dec dinner and did the same for the Salvation army). When your business hires us to play this is one of the things you are supporting.

Corporate Events

18 September 2009 Last Updated on 21 February 2010 Simon Cole
We often perform at corporate events. Live classical music adds a pleasant and unique flavour to any event. Usually 2-4 musicians are enough to fill a hall without overwhelming conversation.
We only use the best players. Rates are negotiable but are roughly $100 per hour per musician.

Musicians for your event

Music makes the difference.

Not all our playing happens on the recital stage or in the concert hall.

Our Classical musicians are working members of the community playing for shows, civic events, corporate affairs and anywhere fine music and musicians are needed. All our musicians are Professionals.
Rates for concert performances are negotiable

We have a repertoire of over 350 pieces: Christmas music, famous classics, Celtic, 20th century.
