Meet
the Marin String Quartet & Ensembles and Leader, violinist
Dennie Mehocich. We are delighted to help brighten that very
special day with musical memories to delight you and your guests for
a lifetime.
WHAT WE OFFER
The
Quartet is the standard String Quartet format consisting of two
violins, viola, and cello. Repertoire includes the string quartet
literature of composers Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert. We
also have extensive numbers of transcriptions and arrangements of other
Classical and Baroque literature, lively waltzes from the Blue Danube
to selections by the Beatles to Tangos to Broadway tunes from beloved
shows. The Quartet gives you the greatest range and selection
of repertoire and we have seen guests at weddings and parties dance
to our music! By far the Quartet is our most popular request.
Trios: The String Trio generally consists of two violins or violin,
viola and cello. We also provide Flute trios, consisting of flute,
violin, and cello, or recorders for a Baroque or Renaissance mood;
Horn trios (violin, cello, and French Horn), good for holiday parties,
and Piano Trios (violin, cello and piano) for indoor venues where a
most refined atmosphere is desired. Trios are great for those
intimate gatherings where a bit less sound may be desirable. They
work very well for those candle-lit dinners in wine cellars and smaller
venues. A real advantage is a good sound and an affordable price.
Duets are
typically two violins, violin and viola, or violin and cello.
The advantage is a good selection mainly consisting of Baroque
and Classical music at very reasonable prices. Duets are
wonderful for smaller gatherings in home settings, gardens, churches,
and wineries. Consider
hiring the Duet to brighten that engagement or rehearsal dinner in
addition to performing the music for your wedding celebration.
Strings
withTrumpet consists of the String Quartet with trumpet soloist.
This is a truly wonderful way to add that regal touch of Baroque
elegance for entrances that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Strings
with flute and/or harp provides more variety of timbre and can
be configured into ensembles of various combinations: Violin and
flute duet, add cello for a flute trio; add to this a harp for
a harp quartet. Other possibilities: Violin and cello duet; Harp
plus one other instrument (violin or flute is recommended); Violin,
flute and harp; Violin, cello and harp. Please listen through our
samples for an idea of how theses combinations sound.
The Klezmer
Group is the String Quartet plus clarinet and trumpet.
The
Piano Duet consists of violin and piano. We will bring
elegant Classical charm to your ceremony as well as receptions,
family gatherings and reunions, and other of life’s celebrations.
