Trio Trache’e. Denise Westby, flute. Phil Baldino, clarinet. Lyle Dockendorff, bassoon
An unusual combination, not often heard, but oh so wonderful!  The Trio has an amazing range of repertoire that has been heard in concert, at parties and at weddings.  Baroque, classical, contemporary, ragtime, swing, holiday music, through film scores.  If this ensemble doesn’t already have it, they’ll arrange it!  This group can go from a classical trio for a wedding to a swing ensemble for the reception with the addition of a virtual bass and drummer.

4tet West. Denise Westby, flute. Kathy Follett, violin. Kim Lorati, viola. Walter Hogsett, cello.
A twist on the traditional string quartet.  This group is the perfect blend of string ensemble with the added clarity of the vocal flute.  With years of experience performing for weddings and parties, this ensemble brings a touch perfection to your very special event.

5tet. Denise Westby, flute. Karen Strand, oboe. Mark Casperson, clarinet. Ann Crandall, bassoon. Bill Stalnaker, french horn.
5tet adds a taste of the unusual to parties, weddings, and concerts.  This group of highly trained performers play the complete range of repertoire, so you’re likely to hear many tunes that you already know how to whistle.  Classical, operas, musicals, pops.  This blend of winds and brass is a celebration of all musical styles.

Sinfonia Concertante Chamber Orchestra.  16-40 piece orchestra under the baton of Maestro Stefan Minde.
For the ultimate impression, this chamber orchestra is available for private as well as public events.  A hidden Portland gem for 15 years, this orchestra has performed to thousands over the years with rave reviews.  The group can be as small as 16 with strings only or can be increased to add winds, brass and percussion.  From classical to pops, depending on your desired impact, this is the way to have them saying, “wow!”
