Although we don’t contract vocalists at this time, we can refer you to several fine singers that we have worked with in the past.

If a member of the Fairmount String Quartet is unable to play an engagement, we will engage a member of the Fairmount Chamber Ensemble to substitute.

On a one hour engagement, there will be no break.
On a two hour engagement, there will be one 15 minute break

Please note that breaks will not be taken during wedding ceremonies or religious services.

Because of the delicate nature of our instruments, if an engagement is to be outdoors, the area we are in must be well shaded, with temperature between 65 and 85 degrees F. Please be sure to take the proper precautions for outdoor services, as we will not subject our valuable instruments to conditions that will damage them.
