Vocal Music: Most of the vocal pieces listed are best performed by a quartet or trio. We offer professional vocalists, or we would be happy to accompany a singer you provide. Please note that rehearsal time will be added for pieces performed with vocalists.

More Music: We have additional music in our repertoire that is not listed above ' popular tunes, music from movies, show tunes, holiday music, and many other wonderful classical pieces. A full listing of our pieces is available upon request.

If you would like Riverview Chamber Players to perform a piece that is not listed in our repertoire, there are a few things you can do:
  1. have the Music Director search for and buy the music, a minimum of $25 will be charged for thisif no sheet music can be found, ask the Music Director to hire a professional music arranger to create the score for your ensemble. This costs approximately $200 per piece and needs to be organized at least 60 days in advance of your wedding date.
  2. to save money, call music stores or search on-line for a piano score or arrangement, xerox it, and send it to the Music Director at least 30 days prior to your event.

Selecting Music
The musicians will play an array of entertaining classical music for your reception by a number of well known composers. If you decide that you would also like some popular music – including show tunes, opera excerpts, or waltzes – let the Music Director know. Please note that the best ensembles for popular music arrangements are string quartets and trios; duets are best left to classical music.

Please note: The Music Director augments the Riverview Chamber Players music library on a regular basis. If you don't see a composer or style of music that you would like, please check with Rebecca to see if it is now available.
