Prelude has been together for over twenty years
and has performed throughout Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New York, Massachusetts and Vermont. Along
with being the state’s premier band for weddings
and other formal events, Prelude has risen to the
top in performing for a number of prestigious corporations.
Among these are Arthritis Foundation, AIDS Foundation,
IBM, ITT, The Hartford Hospital, Bristol Hospital,
New Britain General, Midstate Medical, The UConn
Health Center, The Hartford Insurance Group, Spalding
Sports, Inc., and ESPN to name a few.
The band consists of five musicians. Three of
the four males and one female member sing lead
vocals which creates the ability for the band
to play a wide variety of music that is enjoyed
by listeners of all ages. The instrumentation
of the band consists of electric and acoustic
guitars, bass guitar, multi-keyboards, drums,
percussion, alto saxophone, soprano saxophone,
flute, and Yamaha EWI (a sophisticated musical
instrument that can emulate the sound of virtually
any instrument.)
Prelude’s sound is reinforced with a state
of the art Bose Sound System. The band also uses
theater lighting to enhance the mood of the performance
upon request at no extra charge.
