Less Snow, More Love
Another (less) snowy spring day here in NYC! Today, we travel up to the Bronx for a traditional catholic wedding ceremony in a lovely cathedral. Accompanied by the church organist, our intimate string trio presented a program of elegant classical pieces and ballads. Though the couple selected classic repertoire for their ceremony, the cocktail hour at Glen Island was much more contemporary – Clean Bandit, Rihanna, Jason Mraz, and Sam Smith made appearances! Congrats to Gina and Jason!
