Duo: Flute/Sax & Guitar
The Flute/Sax & Guitar Duo is our most popular choice! This duo can transition easily from classical music & popular songs for a ceremony to light jazz for a cocktail hour. Bruce usually performs on flute for the ceremony and switches to sax for the jazz, but these instruments and styles can be freely mixed to your liking. For a richer and more rhythmic sound make this ensemble a trio by adding cello or bass (samples below). And if desired, piano can be used in place of guitar.
