We Perform
“The jazz trio was the perfect accompaniment to our event.
We booked Great Southern Ensemble for a Long Table Lunch at Pepper & Salt Restaurant and couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
Our guests commented on how fantastic the music was. The group was professional, adaptable, and read the room effortlessly, which made a huge difference to the overall flow of the day.
Communication with Alma was seamless from start to finish, prompt, clear, and incredibly easy to work with.
Highly recommend Great Southern Ensemble for any event where you want exceptional live music and a team you can rely on.”

World-Class Musicians for Beautifully Hosted Events
At Great Southern Ensemble, we believe live music should feel more than simply beautiful; it should feel deeply connected to the atmosphere, energy and flow of your event.
Born from the Albany String Quartet and shaped by the rich musical culture of the Great Southern, our ensemble brings together internationally trained musicians, respected members of the Albany Chamber Orchestra, composers and performers with a lifetime devoted to their craft.
Beyond the stage, many of our musicians are also long-standing members of the Great Southern community; music teachers, creative collaborators, business owners and passionate contributors to the region’s vibrant cultural life. Together, they bring not only exceptional artistry, but a genuine love for gathering people together through music.
With refined musical taste and an intuitive understanding of guest experience, we create live music that feels polished, sophisticated and effortlessly woven into the atmosphere of your event.
