Wedding Strings - Violin and Guitar Duo
This experienced classical guitar and violin duo offers a unique and memorable program for weddings, recitals, private and corporate events. They have a sophisticated and infectious repertoire encompassing Jazz, Baroque, Classical, Contemporary and World music.
