News and Recent Performances
Susan Messersmith - Trumpet
We are proud to announce that Susan Messersmith will be performing on Trumpet with us for the various weddings and private functions in the Charleston, SC area.
With a Masters in Performance, and 14 years with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, Susan is the ideal trumpeter in Charleston to perform for wedding ceremonies, especially an indoor ceremony. For example the St. Luke’s Chapel, downtown Charleston would be a great venue to hear the strings and the trumpet for Trumpet Voluntary or Trumpet Tune. In the past, having the trumpet performing for the bridal walkdown and recessional helps accent those moments of the wedding ceremony.
Thoma Bennett House Entrance
What a perfect Friday afternoon it was for this wedding ceremony at the classic Bennett House. The Solo Violin was a perfect addition to the small and intimate ceremony scene. This venue is perfect if you are looking for the historic downtown home to get married at.
The line-up of songs had a traditional and a spiritual side to it. Be Thou My Vision is a traditional Irish melody and is a great choice if you are looking for something different. It also works beautifully for the solo violin.
