Con Fuoco Music Jazz and Classical

CON FUOCO MUSIC provides high quality musical entertainment - in Boston, Massachusetts and surrounding cities/states. Our bands range slylistically from classical string trios and string quartets, through pop, dance, latin to jazz music.

CON FUOCO String Quartet/ String Tio - classical ensembles featuring 1 or 2 violins, viola and bass. We have performed at over 50 weddings for the past year and have a number of great references.

CON FUOCO string Duo is a classical violin-guitar duo designed to offer great music for a lower budget.

THE CARI PENO JAZZTET is a professional jazz ensemble featuring the following instruments: vocal, piano, upright bass, drums, tenor saxophone and guitar. The members of the group are well-established and experienced free-lance professionals from the Boston and/or NYC area.

Our demo CD was recorded in such a way as to show that different combinations of instruments are possible – duos, trios, quartets, etc to octet. It would be up to you as our clients to decide what instruments exactly you would like to have. A larger band has, of course, larger possibilities. The venues we usually perform at are clubs, private events, corporate functions, weddings etc.

Demo CDs for all ensembles are available upon request.You can as well visit our website to look at some photos and listen to music samples.
