Fill The Room with the Marimba's Warmth
The modern concert marimba is perfect for cocktail hour entertainment due to the intimate nature of the instrument, and it’s warm resonance can fill the room. Throughout the event, Spencer will cycle through jazz improvisations of familiar tunes and classical music arrangements from the baroque and romantic eras. This elegant selection of music will be a delight to hear in the background as your guests enjoy each other’s company.
Why Choose Detroit Marimba for Your Wedding Cocktail Hour Entertainment?
Compared to other instruments, the modern concert marimba’s sound is at the cutting edge of classical music’s history. While the string instruments of the orchestra have centuries of history and tradition behind them, the modern concert marimba sound is only a few decades old!
When you choose Detroit Marimba to provide music for your event, you are providing a truly unique experience. Marimbas have the warmth of a cello, the versatility of a piano, and the visual flair of a drummer!
