Corporate Hospitality Event at Highgate House

By vaughan • July 6, 2010 • Posted in: Functions and Events

Last Wednesday, Julia (cellist) and I were engaged to play for a Corporate party in Highgate House near Creaton in Northamptonshire. Although we have performed there many times for weddings, this was the first time we’d been booked for an evening event at this venue. The clients had planned quite an intimate gathering of around 12 guests, so a string quartet would have been completely overpowering. We played under the shade of a tree on the back lawn as drinks were served before the main dinner. As our brief was to perform purely classical / chamber music we took the opportunity to play the marvellous duos by Beethoven which were originally written for clarinet and bassoon but have been arranged for violin with cello. This all helped to set a classy atmosphere for the evening and we are pleased to be returning again later this month for a similar event organised by the same client.
