Park Avenue Synagogue

We are winding our wedding season down as we groove into the holidays and get ready for tons of parties.  We have many more weddings to post and this one was pure joy performing with Azi Schwartz the music director & cantor at Park Avenue Synagogue.  Again, huge tip of the hat to Fête {feteny.com} for bringing us on board.  We were string quartet and piano.  Azi has a voice that will truly make you melt. You can hear him performing the most devine music on his CD "Ahavat Olam", a collection of Jewish romantic music with chamber orchestra.  http://pasyn.org/  Or better yet, catch an inspiring service at Park Avenue Synagogue.

Brooklyn Museum

We adore the Brooklyn Museum and the below are photos of us setting up.  Brian Dorsey was the photographer and we will be sure to share his photos when they come in. The bride & groom were chic hipsters from Brooklyn and they were classic with a bit of an edge.  The group were the usual suspects for quartet & piano {Ariana, Kate, Hannah, Lauren & myself, with Ted doing sound.}  The Museum was open to the public while we were soundchecking and we had a little fan {shown below} who I invited to play for us.  We released the bride around :60 to create that swirly crescendo for her entrance.
