Peacock and strings

SALUTEMUS provided a string quartet and piano for a beautiful, summery wedding in the grounds of Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire. We provided Mozart in E flat Major; Larmer Tree provided some free-range peacocks in a variety of keys (but NOT in E flat!).

The bride walked across the lawns to a special arrangement of Mozart's Adagio from the 'Serenade for 13 wind instruments' - majestic, calm and exquisite. The music was arranged by SALUTEMUS for the bride and groom.
The ceremony also included the first performance of a piece composed for the couple by Andy Keenan.
A very tasteful and civilised affair in a magnificent setting. It was just a pity that the peacocks didn't tune up first . . .
