What is a string trio?
A string trio consists of a violin, viola, and cello. We can also pair down and perform beautiful duets (violin & cello). We are happy to consult with you to find the right instrument combination for your event.
How do I pick music?
We can help you – let’s get in touch! Ellen will respond and work with you to select music that best suits you and your event. We offer a wide range in styles within our repertoire and we are comfortable performing all different styles of music.
Do you play outdoors?
Yes! If your event is outdoors, we ask to be under an 8′ x 8′ covered area in case of inclement weather. Extreme heat, cold, and moisture can be extremely dangerous to our instruments, so we require a contingency plan in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Does The Watercress Trio play at events outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area?
We are happy to drive outside the Twin Cities metro area and provide music to greater Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Any event outside the Twin Cities metro area will be subject to an additional travel fee.
We have a vocalist/instrumentalist performing. Can the trio accompany them?
We enjoy collaborating with other musicians at an event. If you have a family or friend who would like to perform, we are happy to accompany them. If you would prefer for us to handle the details, we can contact guest artists we have previously worked with to check their availability.
I would like to book The Watercress Trio for my next event. What do I do?
Watercress Trio made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special. Ellen and her team were absolutely amazing! Great communication, music, and timeliness! Highly recommend booking them for your wedding day or other special events! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
