Fritz Quartet at The Church of the Holy Family

10 June 2006

Today, the Fritz Quartet played for a wedding at The Church of the Holy Family. It was an early ceremony and we reached the church at Chapel Road at 8.30am, where we did a quick warm up outside the chapel. It was a bright and cheerful morning.

We played various tunes such as Ave Maria and Jesu, Lord of Desiring as the guests were seated. At 9am, the Fritz Quartet accompanied the walk in of 6 couples with "Trumpet Voluntary", it was very surreal. And finally, it was the bride's turn. We had been specially requested to play Canon in D, and this we did with much joy, as each step of the bride's was accompanied by the Fritz Quartet's Canon in D and the sound of the church bells tolling. We had not been mic-ed up and we almost played our arms off struggling to make ourselves heard as the chapel was very big and echo-ey.

After the joyous ceremony, we trooped off to the nearby Macs for breakfast. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning, celebrating a union, and spending some quality Fritz time. :)
