A Private Concert for the People You Love Most.
Ten photographs from one evening. Every note performed live by the Gordon Dukes Music Company orchestra.
A live performance built as a focal point of the occasion — shaped around the room, the audience and the music rather than a traditional event-band format.
It may be part of a wedding, milestone celebration, gala, dinner, destination evening or another private gathering. A private celebration is the occasion; a private concert is the performance approach.
On paper, first
The evening began, as it should, with an invitation.
Before anyone arrives
A room holding its breath.
The room before the room
A last still moment with the men who arrived early.
Blush, and laughter
The bride at the centre of it.
Somewhere between the first dance and the last song, the reception became a concert.
The orchestra wakes
Alex on guitar — mid-phrase, mid-breath.
The guests become the performance
A vocalist steps down into the room. A guest sings back.
"We forgot the room had a ceiling."
