About

Live music adds style and elegance to any event, and Champlain Music Ensemble specializes in providing small, intimate chamber ensembles that create the perfect atmosphere for any celebration. Owners Anne-Marie Tranchida (cello) and Harry Hassell (flute) have played hundreds of weddings and events in their 20 years of playing together and are committed to making your special day exciting and memorable.

The Cello/Flute combination is an extremely versatile option for smaller events, be it a wedding ceremony, reception, office party, or intimate dinner party. For even more variety, Champlain Music Ensemble can be augmented by one or more players to make a bigger splash at your event. Other options include Flute/Violin/Cello trio or String Quartet, and any ensemble can be augmented with harp, guitar, or trumpet for an extra special touch. Our extensive repertoire list is constantly expanding, and we are happy to accommodate unique tastes and special requests.

Intimate, charming, personable and portable, Champlain Music knows the ideal way to add a touch of class to any event!

Talented, professional and catered to our needs perfectly!

The flute/cello duo were the perfect sound we wanted for my daughter's wedding. Harry always responded quickly and if he was asked an opinion since I had never helped plan a wedding, he gave his professional viewpoint and offered many options. They arranged a couple of songs by request beautifully for my daughter and her, now, husband. He answered all questions, gave options, did what he promised, showed up on time, and expected payment upon service. There was nothing unexpected from this vendor. Their talent is unmatched and professional. I would recommend them to anyone as beautiful as their sound was for our event. You will not regret hiring Champlain Ensemble when it comes to looking for beautiful music!

The performers were amazing!! They were willing to work with me on a mutually agreed upon price and learned the songs that I requested for my ceremony. We could not have been happier :)

I got the duo (flute and cello) and although the selection is more limited because it is only two musicians, the music was beautiful and just what I wanted (both classic music and Beatles music).
