We had the best garden party ever thanks to you guys! Not only did you play beautifully but our guests (and the neighbours) loved the music! The event was to celebrate our newlywed daughter and son-in-law. Your repertoire was very impressive, and we loved all the songs you performed. Thanks to your music our evening was magical and very memorable. Will definitely be recommending your Duo and we will be seeing you again in the near future.Ewa & Jeff, Greely, ON

Duo Pleiades played at our wedding recently during both the ceremony and cocktail hour and everything sounded amazing! They were easy to work with and lovely at the event and most importantly the music was great. We got lots of compliments and I would definitely recommend to anyone planning a wedding or any other event for that matter.

Anna and Andrew added the extra touch needed for our daughters fairy tale wedding . The music was just perfect . Lots of the guests commented on how the music was perfect for the crowd . Everyone was able to talk and enjoy the wedding with the music playing in the background. We loved that we didn’t need to say a word about the music as everything was pre arranged . Would use their services again

Duo Pleiades played at our wedding ceremony at St. Elias Cathedral and it was magical! Anna have been extremely helpful and flexible during those difficult COVID times, and when our special day finally arrived, Anna and Andrew played perfectly all of the songs that we have requested. I strongly recommend! Thanks again for bringing this special touch to our ceremony.

For my birthday, my boyfriend surprised me by inviting the talented violinist, Anna Baksheeva to play popular songs live for us under the sunset in Rockcliffe park! We were able to dance various social dances to Anna's creative and beautiful playing even on an unconventional dance floor - the parking lot! She brought the space to life with her playing and inspired us to continue dancing all throughout the night...we just couldn't stop! Thank you Anna 🙂
