Violin and Cello Duo

The MusicCo Chamber Players are the elegant answer to your musical needs. We offer classical chamber music for weddings, receptions, and special events. Strings, brass, harp, piano, and woodwinds combine to create ensembles of one to ten players.

Our musicians play with such venerable ensembles as the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, Handel & Haydn Society, Boston Lyric Opera, and the Wang Center. Repertoire ranges from Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven to Broadway, seasonal, and contemporary.

The services of MusicCo Chamber Players are available throughout New England. Bookings can be arranged from two days to two years before an event.

Choose the ensemble that's right for your event. The elegance of harp, majesty of brass, and warmth of strings are all available. We can help with instrument selection, as you mix and match from our core of thirty musicians.
