Options for Instrumentation

We have several different options to choose from, including soloists, duos, and larger combos.  Click on the underlined links to hear examples of each.  These are of course just a sampling of different songs and styles; with enough notice, we can play any songs you like.  (If you have trouble getting clips to open due to browser incompatibility,  try downloading them to your computer by right clicking on the links and choosing Save Target As, then playing them with your media player; or make sure QuickTime is installed on your computer.  You can also visit our Facebook Fan Page where you can listen to some full-length samples, even without a Facebook account.)
