AJ Ensembles
AJ Ensembles have been performing all types of music since 1999, from Bach to the Beatles and Black-Eyed Peas and beyond. We have done events at various venues all over CT, including St. Clements Castle, Waters Edge, Riverview, Elizabeth Park, Evergreen Woods, & pride ourselves on accommodating the musical requests of our clients, no matter how "untraditional" they may be. Every musician is a classically trained professional, & many are employed by the Hartford Symphony, Eastern CT Symphony, Waterbury Symphony, Bridgeport Symphony and many others.
