The Amante Duo is a professional flute, guitar and vocal duo based out of Calgary, AB. This husband-and-wife team is also trained vocalists, lending their voices as their instruments for a unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. The duo does excel in classical performance, however, they would not define themselves as traditional by any means. Hilary and Noel pair their unique sound and style to perform music from every genre; from pop and jazz standards to indie, R&B, folk, and even rock, we can take it all and turn it as acoustic-romantic as you'd like.

Experience

Flutist Hilary Aubin Amante and guitarist Noel Amante are the husband-and-wife team that makes up this duo. They have been performing individually for over 20 years, and it's been over 10 years since they first began performing together. They have created arrangements by well-known artists such as RHCP, City and Colour, The Lumineers, Sam Smith, One Republic, Outkast, Michael Buble, Ed Sheeran and more for their weddings and special events, taking their own spin on popular music.

Services offered

Much of their repertoire has been arranged by the duo themselves to suit a particular style or event. That all-time favourite upbeat song of yours can be slowed down and smoothed over for an unforgettable walk down the aisle. Improvisation also plays an important role in all performances to ensure seamless timing, entries, and exits. If you're looking for musicians who will go above and beyond to create the ambiance you've been dreaming of at your event, you've found them!
