Divisi has made its mark in the Golden State! Over the past 6 months, brides have been introduced to the BIG SOUNDS of Divisi Strings in the city of Los Angeles. We have had the privilege of working and building relationships with some of the most respected coordinators and venues in the area. Our music has escorted brides down the aisle at venues like The Arboretum (LA Botanical Gardens), The Ebell Club, Vibiana, and others. Not only are the new clients loving Divisi’s expansion, but the musicians in LA are praising our organization and attention to details.

This June, Divisi Strings took flight for its first international destination wedding. The Amp’d Quartet performed at a beautiful private resort beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for a ceremony on the sand. The scenery was gorgeous, the people were wonderful, and the water was mesmerizing. Even though the weather wasn’t exactly what our beautiful bride was hoping for, her family and friends enjoyed singing along and making requests from a string quartet they didn’t know could play Journey, Guns n Roses, and Coldplay. The client sent us one of the most beautiful thank you notes we’ve ever received saying she will always remember her “dream husband, dream bouquet, and dream quartet.”

From the west coast to the east coast, Divisi’s other big adventure this year was to the New World Center in Miami. Collide, our exclusive group featuring the amalgamation of strings and DJ, was asked to perform for Amway International. We were one of the first groups to perform in the New World Center since its unveiling in January 2011 as one of the most technologically and acoustically advanced concert halls in the world. The structure itself was architecturally and aesthetically beautiful, and the sound is indescribable. The sound check took approximately 5 minutes (imagine that!), and then we were ready to release our new sound for Collide.

We have created several brand new sets that we are ready to show off. Kanye West, T-Pain & Pitbull, and the Far East Movement are just a few of the big names we have added into the mix. With the sound of the strings and DJ’s scratching it is a symphony like no other. Miami got a glimpse, but we have more in store for Houston! Come here the new sounds of Collide this August 19^th, 7:00 – 10:00 pm, at the Museum of Natural Science’s Mixers and Elixirs.

The Amp’d Quartet and Collide will both be hitting the studio this summer. So while you are eagerly anticipating more news about that, whet your appetite on this sample of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga!

Divisi Goes to Hollywood???

2010 has proven to be a monuemental and extremely adventurous year for Divisi Strings. Our newest groups AMP'D and Collide are performing all over Houston for various organizations such as the Greater Houston Visitor's Bureau and National Business Travelers Association. The city of Houston hosted the NBTA's annual convention featuring Condoleezza Rice, Sir Richard Branson, and Lance Armstrong as keynote speakers; with Collide as a musicial guest. Over 5,000 guests poured into the George R. Brown Convention Center for this executive event.

Collide also had the privilege of performing at the after party for Embassy Suites Downtown, the New Grand Opening of Porsche North Houston, and on September 29th we will be entertaining guests as the newest Audi model is unveiled for the first time in Houston.

As we celebrate our newest landmarks and ventures, we are in awe of the amount of brides and businesses who have chosen Divisi Strings to be a part of their Big Days. As of September 1, 2010, we have booked more in these eight months than all of 2009! Over 400 events booked in 2010, what a year...I mean what an eight months! We would like to thank all of you for making 2010 such a progressive year in our history. We are committed to bringing new ideas and exciting events to our great state of Texas...and beyond.

Divisi Strings is planning to have BIG DAYS in the Golden State with Divisi Strings L.A. In 2011 J.D. Karpicke, one of the founding members of AMP'D and Collide, is moving to Southern California to establish the branch.
