Our various ensembles. A menu, perhaps?

Sometimes I feel like I really need to clarify how our groups work. So, I’ll give it a shot.
I. String-based groups
For all of the following groups, repertoire for both ceremony and cocktail hour/reception will be primarily or entirely classical, with fairly equal representation from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras. Flute and violin are interchangeable within these groups, so the repertoire does not change when a flute is present.
A. String Quartet (2 violins, viola, cello)
B. Flute Quartet (flute, violin, viola, cello)
C. String Trio (2 violins and cello)
D. Flute Trio (flute, violin, cello)
F. Flute & cello duo
II. Guitar-based groups
For these groups, prelude and ceremony repertoire is primarily classical, though we also have a number of beautiful Celtic pieces and early to mid-20th century popular songs and show tunes.
Cocktail hour/reception repertoire will be primarily vintage swing jazz (1920’s - 1930’s), unless otherwise requested.
Special requests for popular/contemporary songs are often more easily accommodated than with string groups, and will almost always sound more like the original version of the song.
Saxophone and flute are both played by the same musician, and there is no additional charge for bringing both instruments. Vocals are available with all except cello/guitar duo at no additional charge (depending on my availability).
A. Collage Quartet - flute/saxophone, violin OR mandolin, guitar, cello OR bass
B. Collage Trio - flute/saxophone, guitar, bass - our most popular ensemble of all!
C. Toscana Trio - flute/saxophone, mandolin, bass
D. Flute & guitar duo
E. Cello & guitar duo
