Fiona: Opera Singer
Music at Your Wedding Ceremony
When you and your partner are choosing music for your wedding,
there are a few things to consider that will make the songs
enhance and blend into your ceremony. Do you want live
accompaniment or backing tracks? Do you like traditional classical
music or more contemporary tunes and does your chosen
church/chapel/venue allow modern songs? Do you like strings, piano or
organ or guitar?
Does your chosen venue have a resident musician?
Live music creates a special atmosphere and lasting memory as part of your wedding ceremony.
Please take a minute to read the below options and talk
through the song ideas with your Priest, Celebrant or Father or
Officiate who is conducting your ceremony. I am more than happy to help
you with these choices also.
Fiona is the Lead singer of Soul Arte who are the perfect option for
your wedding ceremony. Competitive rates are offered for booking both
acts to make your wedding extra special. View "Soul Arte" Listed
under bands for more information.
About Me
I have been singing at wedding ceremonies across Australia and the UK
for over 10 years. In 2004 I completed my B.Mus St studies in Classical
Art Song and Opera at Sydney Conservatorium of Music. These days I am
kept very busy around Sydney, performing regularly with my band SoulArte
and also with notable local classical ensembles including the Sydney
Chamber Orchestra which I enjoy immensely.
I am more than happy to add to this list with your favourite and special
or traditional songs, all you have to do is ask! Please feel free to
mix and match the suggestions around between the sections of the
service.
