Beautiful music together!
Beautiful music together!Who would you like to provide your wedding ceremony music? How about a happily married couple with over twenty years of experience – classical musicians who are excited to provide the wedding music of your dreams! We are Trilla Ray-Carter and Monty Carter. For over twenty years we've served the greater Kansas City area as soloists, ensemble artists, and members of multiple orchestras. Trilla is one of the most versatile cellists in the Midwest, and Monty's strings of choice are violin, viola, and vocal cords. We are both studio instructors with statewide awards from the American String Teachers Association, and we both enjoy composing and arranging music. Trilla is the Artistic Director of the Kansas City Baroque Consortium, and Monty creates effectively fun music for growing musicians. With all the musical hats we wear, what would you guess remains our favorite freelance engagement? You got it: PLAYING WEDDINGS! No wedding is "just a gig" to us! Your wedding music is the element that beautifully connects all the other aspects of your service and the celebration that follows, and we cherish the honor of providing it. The musicians who join us are professional colleagues with whom we’ve performed extensively and who share our passion for music-making. We have an enjoyable way of getting to know you, personally demonstrating the sound of strings in different styles, and assisting you with ensemble and repertoire decisions: we invite the two of you, and whomever else you’d like to bring, to our home in south KCMO for a no-obligation consultation at a time at your convenience. We’ll discuss your ceremony in detail and serenade you with demonstrations of different selections. The experience is moving and fun. We look forward to hearing from you!
