which size group should I book?
  
You need to consider the size and acoustic quality of the space, the number of guests, your budget, and how you envision your event. If you would like help determining what size group to book, please contact Rachel. Please read on for details about the different size groups.

1  Solo Cello  is one musician (cellist). Solo cello is best suited to a smaller, more intimate gathering, but will also work for an event like a small to medium-sized wedding ceremony in a space with great acoustics, like St. Columba Chapel at the Atlantic School of Theology, or a casemate on Citadel Hill. Solo cello repertoire is mostly Baroque music (like J.S. Bach and Handel), with some Classical and Romantic selections, and special requests. (If you don't see the music player, click the white music title.)

Solo cello is also now available with prerecorded accompaniment on Bluetooth speaker.  A variety of piano and original/karaoke accompanimets are available.
