VIVACE STRINGS

ViVaCe Strings, [Vi (violin) Va (viola) Ce (cello)], with our core group of professional conservatory trained musicians, has been providing music for elegant events in the Philadelphia region for over 20 years. Our experience makes us one of the most requested string chamber ensembles in the region for weddings, receptions, and business functions. Our musicians have played leading positions in the area's musical groups - Delaware Symphony, Haddonfield Symphony (now Symphony in C), Philly Pops, OperaDelaware, to name just a few. We have a large repertoire of music available, and love working with our clients to provide just the right music to create that special ambience.   We have a flute player who can substitute for one of the violins, and we can put you in touch with trumpet players or vocalists to complete your musical package.

 

Kathleen and Cheryl's performance of the Brahms Double Concerto with the Newark Symphony was a great success! Read our reviews!


from the newarkpostonline.com

"Soloists Kathleen Hastings, violin and Cheryl Everill, cello, must have rehearsed a lot to play so perfectly together in some of the many passages where they had to play the same fast patterns of runs and arpeggios. They also ended the first movement’s furious finale on a dime. ...... The third movement was my favorite, with the cello’s brilliant attack on the motive which it then passed to the orchestra."

"Kathleen Hastings, violin and Cheryl Everill, cello were soloists in the Double Concerto for violin and cello by Johannes Brahms. Their smooth ensemble and the chiaroscuro contrast between soloists and orchestra was a pleasure to hear."
