Do you perform outdoors? What are your requirements?

If requested we would be delighted to perform outside. The Calgary and Rocky Mountain weather however present their own unique set of challenges at all times of the year. Being a professional ensemble, we perform using expensive instruments which can have a combined value of $100,000 or more. The instruments, sheet music, stands and musicians must be protected from wind, sun and rain, making outside cover required. An extended canopy/ tent with three walls supplied at the client's expense are required. Adequate lighting and chairs without arms are also necessary. The normal ambient outside performance temperature is between 18°C and 26°C. Outside of these temperature parameters, performances may be moved indoors to not incur damage to the instruments and our hands.

Could you play a song that is not in your repertoire list?

Absolutely! We offer a professional music arrangement service for pieces which we don’t have in our repertoire. We would normally require minimum 1 months notice to write, arrange and rehearse the piece. An additional fee is charged for this service. Please contact us for further information.
