What is your usual attire?
We usually wear formal black attire. If you think black is too dismal or too formal, we will work with your color scheme.
Do you offer live sample performances or CDs?
Most of our ensembles are busy professionals, offering many opportunities to hear us in person. See our official website for tour schedules for the groups you are interested in. Some groups play mostly private events (like the Susquehanna Ensemble, a popular trio for ceremonies). In that case, please let us know where you could come see us, and we'll ask for permission for you to discreetly view part of the event. Other ensembles, like The Reese Project, play public venues at least 3-4 times per month, so it should be easy to find a place to hear them! Please introduce yourself to us if you do come out to hear us, or let us know ahead of time to look for you or reserve you a seat.
How much time do you usually need for setup?
Our acoustic ensembles need about 10 minutes for set-up & 10 minutes for tear-down. The jazz ensembles require electricity & a sound system, so that takes about 40 minutes to set-up, and about 20 minutes to tear-down.
How much space do you usually require?
Each musical ensemble has different space requirements. It makes sense that if you hire a larger ensemble, you'll need more room for them to be comfortable! Solos & duos are very space efficient.
Do you charge for travel expenses? If yes, how much do you charge?
We generally do not charge for travel expenses under 75 miles from Lancaster, PA.
