Jules Combarieu: Music is the art of thinking with sounds

Music can be a long way from your thoughts when you are at work, so planning a corporate function which includes music means it’s time to call in the experts. You can then concentrate on your own role in the event knowing that the music will be appropriately chosen and professionally played.

The launch of a new product must make your guests excited and interested. If you are hosting an event for special clients, live music enhances the atmosphere, creating all sorts of moods from the subtle sophistication of a string quartet to the stylish class of a solo harpist. As well as breaking the social ice by covering silences and giving a focal point to a room, the subliminal effect of music is strong: good music equals contented guests.

Because the Company of Musicians does not require amplification we can play almost anywhere, including out of doors, weather permitting. The sound level is such that your guests can chat without having to shout, yet the music will serenade them as they mingle harmoniously. A brass ensemble can also provide fanfares for the arrival of special guests or to herald speeches, as well as playing music to enjoy in the background.

Your choice of pieces will set the mood and we will do our utmost to meet your requests for classical repertoire.

We can also offer bespoke programmes to reflect the ethos of your company or to help illustrate a presentation. This would involve a prior consultation to ensure we have understood your exact requirements, and a visit to the venue to check that the musicians will fit!  Alternatively, you can leave it all to us and we will assemble a varied selection of classical pieces for your guests to enjoy either formally or informally.
