Harbor Islands Duo

• Brian Friedland - Piano
• Charlotte Gopinath - Violin

The Harbor Islands Duo is a polished and versatile violin and piano duo with an exceptionally lush sound. We offer professional musical entertainment throughout New England for weddings, holiday parties, engagements, special occasions, and more. Violinist Charlotte Gopinath and pianist Brian Friedland have performed in concert halls, jazz clubs and cafes for concerts and special events internationally. Both are graduates from USC's Thornton School of Music, and Brian also graduated from the New England Conservatory.

The Harbor Islands Duo plays a wide variety of music--from classical favorites to jazz standards to pop music. We have a great selection of holiday songs and wedding music, and are happy to play any music you request. We enjoy working with clients to develop a program of music that will set the perfect mood for your special occasion.

We are versatile and can also change our instrumentation to accommodate special requests. We are also very portable as our pianist has a high quality keyboard when no piano is available and his own portable power source if need be.

WEDDINGS:

The Harbor Islands Duo will make your ceremony unique and beautiful. The sounds of piano and violin are the perfect accompaniment as you walk down the aisle. With our experience playing for weddings across the US, we will help you put together a unique program of music for your Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and Dinner. As professional musicians, our performances are of the highest quality, and will make your wedding memorable.

EVENTS:

The Harbor Islands Duo is perfect for holiday parties, birthday parties, engagements, weddings, anniversaries, corporate events and special occasions.

RELIABILITY:

We respond within 24 hours to requests for our services, and work with you every step of the way to make sure you are comfortable and secure. We use a simple contract to guarantee our performance services. Professionalism is our priority: we are punctual and reliable.

PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE:

Unless otherwise requested, we wear black for performances, to complement the atmosphere at your special occasion.
