Memorial Services
In times of loss music comforts, heals, and reminds us of those dear to us. Whether serene, deeply spiritual, or joyful, it speaks where words fail. Fairmount Strings is humbled and honored when asked to memorialize someone dear through our music.
We will listen carefully to what you want to express through the music and guide you to the selections and ensemble that will create a fitting tribute. In addition to providing instrumentalists, we can also provide solo vocalists or small vocal ensembles.

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