Why choose jazz for your corporate event?
Swing brings energy to your reception while still allowing guests to talk comfortably. Violin, guitar and double bass work equally well for welcoming clients and partners or creating a relaxed atmosphere between colleagues.
• A welcoming atmosphere: jazz and swing to accompany your reception.
• Suitable volume: a musical presence adapted to the venue and to conversations between guests.
• A schedule planned with you: musical sets and breaks coordinated with speeches and key moments of your event.
Our line-ups for corporate events
Built around violinist Vihuela Deshogues, our different line-ups allow us to adapt the performance to the available space, number of guests and atmosphere you are looking for.
• Violin and guitar duo
A compact line-up for smaller cocktail receptions, exhibitions or welcoming clients. The duo requires little space and accompanies conversations with an acoustic atmosphere.
• Violin, guitar and double bass trio
The double bass adds depth and rhythm to the duo. The trio is well suited to corporate cocktail receptions, receptions and seminar evenings, with swing that can remain discreet or become more prominent as the event develops.
• Quartet or quintet
A larger line-up for galas, end-of-year celebrations and events where music plays a more prominent role. The composition of the band is defined with you according to your project.
• Optional swing dancers
A Lindy Hop demonstration or introductory session can be added to the performance, including an interactive moment for colleagues who would like to discover swing dancing.
An organisation tailored to your event
We plan the schedule, setup and musical sets with you so that the performance fits naturally into the flow of your event.
• Early setup: arrival and sound checks are scheduled around the arrival of your guests.
• Appropriate dress: we agree on attire suited to the style and setting of your event.
• Sound system: we provide our own equipment and determine the requirements according to the venue and number of guests.

Practical questions about your live music
What happens to the music during speeches?
We identify the planned speeches with you in advance and schedule the corresponding musical breaks. The music then resumes naturally according to the agreed programme.
We also always have a microphone available for speeches, so you do not have to worry about this part of the logistics on the day of the event.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
Please provide the date, venue, approximate number of guests and the desired duration of the performance. Please also let us know whether the event will take place indoors or outdoors and whether you have a preferred line-up.
Do you provide invoices for companies?
Yes. We provide an invoice and a contract for every performance. The quote clearly states the fee and any applicable travel expenses.
Can we request specific pieces?
You can send us your musical preferences in advance. We will let you know which pieces are already in our repertoire and consider other requests according to the chosen line-up and the preparation time available.
Can the performance take place outdoors?
Yes, provided the instruments and equipment can be protected from rain and excessive sun exposure. A covered area and an indoor backup option in case of bad weather should be arranged with the venue.
