We were recently honored to be asked to play for the funeral services for long time Vail local, Tom D'Alessio.
While weddings are often planned out even a year in advance, funerals are often unexpected. As such, it can be very difficult for a grieving family to plan and pull everything together in just a few short days.
Although we didn't know Tom, we were touched by the life he led and the legacy he left for all of those who knew and loved him.
We played for these services as a trio, consisting of a violin, cello, and piano. A family member's sister flew in from Canada to offer her love and support. She is an accomplished vocalist and it was an honor to accompany her throughout the services.
We provided prelude and postlude music as well as music during the services and the communion. We accompanied Jennifer, the vocalist who beautifully sang "The Lord's Prayer", "Ave Maria", "On Eagle's Wings", and "Nella Fantasia". As Jennifer sang, the music extended into, and touched the hearts of those present.
We offer our condolences to the family and loved ones of this great man, and express our gratitude for the opportunity to play and contribute this celebration of Tom's great life.
