Capriccio Ensemble began as a Trio of Violin, Flute and Cello 25 years ago. Formed by sisters Natalie and Amy Kriegler the
ensemble has been performing at concerts, weddings and for private events throughout NY and NJ and Long Island.
In the past 10 years we have mainly performed as an ensemble of all strings via either a String Trio or Duet or Quartet. We also provide,
as a compliment to the strings, a soprano or harpist, pianist or trumpeter. Soloists we provide are either a Violinist, Cellist, Harpist, Guitarist,
or Pianist for either the Ceremony or Cocktail Hour.
in 1999 our String Trio (violin, viola and cello) was chosen after the entertainment agent reviewed and compared the quality of 15 ensembles..we were selected to perform at the wedding ceremony of Jerry Seinfeld!
Mr Seinfeld and his wife Jessica will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary this Christmas Day 1999
A featured aspect of our ensemble is that we are all experienced full time performers and are skilled in the performance of all/any style of music.
Our repertoire has grown from simple and beautiful chamber music to include a large library of popular favorites, Sinatra songs, showtunes, old and neas well as vintage rock songs such as specially done arrangements (our very own arrangements) of songs such as "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin, and "All My Love" and Kashmir" which are songs we have via our colleagues the "Hampton String Quartet" We also have songs from the 80's and 90's pop culture genre including "Naive Melody" by the Talking Heads, "Never Tear us Apart" by the INXS, "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve, "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey, "Just like Heaven" by Robert Smith/the Cure, "Soul to Squeeze" by the Red Hot Chil Peppers and many more.
