Monarch Trio
|
The Monarch Trio consists of Polly Meyerding, flutist, Russell Dedrick, flutist, and Laura Handler on cello.
We play music ranging from beautiful Baroque favorites, such as Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, to popular Irish tunes and Beatles standards. The two flutes have a sweet sound that need to be heard to be appreciated. The deep resonant cello sound is the perfect accompaniment to the lyrical flutes. We have all the standard wedding music at our fingertips, plus many unique and unusual pieces, and will work with you to find the perfect selections for your wedding or party. "The Monarch Trio sounded great and fit in well with the beautiful surroundings. You were all a pleasure to work with and have our highest recommendation!" Tessa & Brad King Hear samples of the Monarch Trio: Monarch Trio: Canon in D, Pachelbel Monarch Trio: Trumpet Voluntary, Clarke Monarch Trio: La Rejouissance, Handel

Arabesque Trio
|
The Arabesque Trio brings together three very different but wonderfully complementary instruments and tone colors. From the silvery flute to the sonorous cello and the unique beauty of the harp played by Andrea Stern, the Arabesque Trio is sure to please you and your guests.
The trio plays a variety of styles of music -- from Baroque and Classical favorites such as Bach and Mozart to the French moods of Debussy, from traditional Celtic airs to modern favorites from Broadway and Hollywood -- we have something for everyone! Laura and Andrea have played with chamber groups and orchestras all over the world and are busy freelance musicians here in the Twin Cities area. You can hear the Arabesque Trio on our sample CD. Please contact Polly and she will be happy to send one to you.
