We are dedicated musicians who specialize in playing authentic jazz, classical music, indie rock (e.g. Coldplay, Muse, Plain White Ts), classic rock (Beatles, Stones) popular songs from film, and world music. We've performed at hundreds of private events in gazebo gardens, on yachts, in mansions, art galleries, clubs, restaurants, lounges and in major New York City hotels. Liability insurance policy in place, so we can play any venue. Minimum ensemble size is a duo of flutist plus another instrumentalist. We specialize in playing unusual song requests!
