Music for a Wedding Ceremony

Three central Kentucky women have been introducing audiences to a rare and scintillating musical combination since 1992. The harp, flute, and cello ensemble known as The Chanson Trio performs in a variety of venues including recitals, weddings, and receptions. Harpist Carolyn Dupont has played harp since the age of 12, and began performing professionally at 19. She has studied with Mimi Allen, Susan Dederich of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Alice Chalifoux at the Salzedo School in Camden, Maine. Since moving to central Kentucky, she has performed in a variety of professional and semi-professional groups, including the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, the Huntingdon West Virginia Symphony, and the Ohio Valley Symphony. Dwana Eberlein, flute, holds a Masters degree in flute performance from the University of Kentucky. She teaches flute at Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, performs regularly as a member of both the Chanson and Ariel Trios, and is the owner of Hurst Music, Lexington, Kentucky.

Classical selections that are pleasant listening & may combine familiar sounding classics with music written for capabilities of the instrument, i.e. music written especially for the harp, organ or string quartet. These selections need not be listed in the printed program unless the bride and groom have requested particular music such as a special selection when the ushers light candles fifteen minutes before the ceremony.
There could be a vocalist with a song just before the seating of grandparents and mothers. In this case, the soloist would give you choices within a style and range suitable for the voice.
