East Hill Winds is a flute and oboe duo of long time colleagues, friends, and neighbors, Lisa Carlson and Sandra Cathey. Sandra plays principal oboe for both the Vermont Philharmonic and the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra Society, in addition to a wide variety of smaller ensembles. She is also well known for her teaching, both in public school music programs and privately. We are available as either a duo or as a trio with piano accompaniment.

All of the traditional options for processionals and recessionals listed on the page titled "Suggestions for Music for Your Ceremony" in the "Traditional Approach to Wedding Music" Section work beautifully for the flute and oboe duo. We have also found that the following selections are particularly nice for our combinations of instruments:
Processionals: "Trumpet Voluntary" by Clarke "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven "Trumpet Tune" by Purcell
Music for a Meditative Moment: "Adagio from Sonata 1" by Loiellet "Simple Gifts" traditional folk song
