A Winter Wedding

The White Lake Quartet enjoyed playing for an early afternoon wedding on February 6, 2010, at the Union League Club in downtown Chicago. The bride and groom had planned a small, intimate ceremony enhanced by the shimmering décor and soft lighting of the room where the ceremony was held. In keeping with the meditative, romantic atmosphere, we were requested to play selections from Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti, Bach’s “Air on the G String”, Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, the “Prelude” movement from Bach’s Suite No. 1 for Solo Cello, and other similar pieces during the prelude. The bride chose Pachelbel’s popular “Canon in D” for the entrance of her sister and herself. At the conclusion of the short ceremony, we livened things up with Vivaldi’s “Spring” and “Autumn” as the happy couple were received by their guests.
