Answers to common questions
What equipment will
the musicians require?
The musicians will require a
set of chairs, and a piano if one is to be used. If there is no piano available
at the venue, Enchanting Sounds can provide an electronic piano for an
additional fee. We will be happy to provide our own music stands.
How will the
musicians be dressed?
Standard attire for the
musicians is formal concert black. If black attire is not desired, this can be
changed by request.
Will the musicians
attend the rehearsal for my event?
It is not necessary for
experienced musicians to attend event rehearsals, as long as clear cues and
instructions are provided in advance.
Will the musicians
take breaks?
For events where the musicians
will be playing for long periods of time without interruption, ten minutes of
each hour will be allotted for the musicians’ breaks.
Can the musicians
play outside?
Enchanting Sounds regularly
plays for outdoor events. However, the musicians must be shielded from the sun,
and from any adverse weather conditions. It is also important to be aware that
most musical instruments will be affected by the heat, cold, or wind, and may go
out of tune during extreme weather conditions.
How should I select
the music to be played?
An extensive sampling of short
recordings is accessible, to aid in the process of
selecting your music. Additionally, we will consult with you concerning your
musical needs and offer advice based upon your stylistic preferences and the
structure of your event.
For a wedding ceremony, most prelude music should be slower and more subtle in
character, while music played after the ceremony should be grandiose and upbeat
to add to the sense of celebration.
All selections on our demo recordings are performed by Enchanting Sounds
musicians.
Must
I choose my selections only from those featured on the website?
No- the
recordings on the website are intended only to aid in the selection process. If
you are interested in having a piece played which is not featured on the site,
please feel free to inquire.
Will Enchanting
Sounds musicians collaborate with outside soloists?
Yes, however we strongly
prefer not to pair our own soloists with outside pianists. If the musicians will
be expected to collaborate with a vocalist or other soloist, all rehearsal must
take place on the day of the event shortly before the musicians’ scheduled
start time.
Is there a charge for
travel?
As long as the event is less
than one hour’s driving distance from Baltimore, MD, there is no charge for
travel. For events which are more than an hour from Baltimore, a travel fee may
be assessed
