About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

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.

Review by Kristen G.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 9, 2013From Cape Cod, MA

Charlotte and Brian could not have been more wonderful and accommodating for our wedding! They were willing to learn all new songs for the ceremony, provided great ideas to make our vision come true, arrived well in advance of the ceremony to set up and make sure they were ready to go, and the music was fantastic. They are incredibly versatile, able to play everything from the most challenging classical piece to fun jazz to modern rock/pop. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, unique, and energetic duo to play at their event!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on December 28, 2013From Little Compton, RI

My husband and I could not have been happier with Charlotte's and Brian's performance at our wedding ceremony! They did an absolutely wonderful job, and it was exactly how I had always envisioned it. We received many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and perfect the music was. Throughout the planning process they were both very responsive and met with me in person to discuss the music and play some samples. I would highly recommend Harbor Islands Duo for any event; you'll be in great hands!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 15, 2012From Edgartown, MA

I can't say enough positive things about Harbor islands Duo. They weathered one of the stormiest days of early summer to ferry over to Martha's Vineyard for our wedding. They were professional, sensitive to our wedding requests and performed beautifully. Our guests were talking about the excellent quality of music and sound for our ceremony. I knew the Harbor Islands Duo was going to be fantastic, but the event turned out even better than I anticipated. Thank you Charlotte for enhancing our wedding experience and for providing the onlookers at the Harbor View Hotel an evening serenade.
