Arcantora

Arcantora

The Arcantora duo is a highly versatile ensemble, ideal for performing during wedding ceremonies as well as playing for drinks receptions. Nina Kopparhed and Mark Wilson are successful professional musicians with more than one string to their bow: Nina is a soprano and violist, whilst Mark is a violinist, violist and pianist. They offer highly contrasting programmes covering Baroque and classical music; film music; jazz and folk as well as pop. The duo plays for weddings and functions all over the country.

Nina is a classically trained soprano who also sings folk and popular music. In addition, she is a professional viola player and works with some of Scotland’s top orchestras.
Mark is an accomplished pianist as well as a highly respected professional violinist. He can accompany Nina on the piano or the violin and can also play for any hymns if required (he can provide his own digital piano and amplifier if there’s no piano at the venue).

Mark and Nina have an extensive repertoire songs and instrumental duets, ranging from Bach and Mozart to Nat King Cole and Sinatra as well as film and folk music (Braveheart, James Bond etc.). Music can be specially arranged on request so that you can hear your favourite song played on your wedding day!
