These lovely young women were marvelous musicians. They performed all of my requests, many of them not on their standard repertoire, perfectly and exquisitely. The music was for me a very important part of this event, and I couldn't be more satisfied--I highly recommend Ensemble Esprit!
Ensemble Esprit String Quartet consists of two violins (Bryce Caster, Miles Bolder), viola (Annissa Bolder), and cello (Kathryn Brunhaver), and can incorporate piano when requested. The group is managed by violist and leader, Annissa Bolder. Our musicians have all received degrees in music performance on their instruments, and perform in ensembles around Oregon including the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, the Oregon Mozart Players, the Portland Cello Project, Portland Baroque Orchestra, and Big Mouth Society. In addition to being well-versed in classical styles and repertoire, the quartet is equally comfortable with fiddling folk music, classical standard fare, and almost anything in between. Whether you're looking for classical, jazz, pops, Beatles, Broadway, folk, or modern flare, Ensemble Esprit can help create the ideal musical environment for your event. We are also able to reduce our ensemble into a string trio (violin, viola, cello) upon request, or to a duo setting of violin+cello or violin+piano (just ask for a quote). Special requests and musical arrangements are happily accommodated. Ensemble Esprit looks forward to providing spirited music for your next event!
