About Silver & Strings Trio

Silver & Strings Trio

Robin Tryon holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Bowling Green State University and the University of Akron and served for 30 years as adjunct professor of flute at the University of Mount Union. Dr. Elaine Anderson is a professor of music at the University of Mount Union. She holds Doctoral, Master’s, and Bachelor’s degrees in ‘cello performance, theory, and string education. Brent Schloneger holds a Masters degree in Piano Performance from Kent State University, has won first place in both piano solo and duo competitions, and currently works as a staff accompanist at the University of Mount Union.

The same three musicians of the Silver & Strings Trio have performed together for many years, which contributes to a consistent, more polished and professional performance. We are unique in that we are a small ensemble that can play acoustically in a small area, or can fill a large venue with our own amplification. For wedding ceremonies, we have our own music coordinator who assists the wedding party in knowing when it is time for each group to process and making sure that the communication is seamless.

    Such musical talent!

    From our first conversation, Silver & Strings Trio made the planning process smooth and easy with their prompt responses and thoughtful guidance. Robin and the team provided gorgeous music for my walk down the aisle and kept our guests entertained before the ceremony started. What really impressed us was the wide range of songs they offered and their willingness to work with us on special requests to make the day feel personal. Their professionalism shone through every interaction, and on the wedding day itself, they delivered the caliber of performance we were hoping for. If you're looking for musicians who communicate clearly, treat you with kindness, and play beautifully, Silver & Strings Trio is worth every penny.

    Thank you, Jodi, for taking the time to review our services and music! We can always tell when the guests are enjoying the music. They were smiling and nodding as we played their favorites. It was such a privilege to make everyone feel comfortable, and to provide an “unforgettable” experience for your walk down the aisle!

    Beautiful music and easy to work with

    Robin and the trio were absolutely wonderful! The music was beautiful and made our ceremony feel even more special. Robin was so organized and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our wedding day!

    An absolute joy to work with

    From the very beginning, working with this strings trio was an absolute joy. They played beautiful Christian music for our ceremony, and it was clear how much care and intention went into every piece and this truly meant so much to us. The music was emotional, elegant, and perfectly set the tone for our wedding. So many guests commented on how moving and special it was. If you’re looking for musicians who are not only incredibly talented but also warm, professional, and deeply respectful of the meaning behind the music they play, this trio is an easy and enthusiastic recommendation.

    Debbie, Your review EXACTLY captured what we try to bring to every ceremony. You had specific music in mind that was to set the tone for that day and we were happy to make it happen. We endeavor to make our music personal, so that it speaks to the heart of the bride, her family, and guests. Thank you again for making this day special for us as well.

    My Experience with the Silver & Strings Trio

    When you hire the Silver & Strings Trio you get so much more than beautiful music. They are professionals who sincerely care about your event, provide you with quality arrangements of your musical selections, a professional sound system setup, prompt communication to answer your questions, and give you reassurance that your event will be special. They are a reliable and delightful group to work with. Thank you for making my event special. I recommend this trio for any occasion.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen. It was such a pleasure working with you to provide music tailored to the tastes of your “guests of honor.” The surprised look on the faces of your parents when they arrived was worth all of your months of thoughtful planning. It will be anniversary party that they will never forget!

    Hi Greg, Thank you for putting your trust in us for your office party. We had so may positive comments and requests for our cards. We hope to work with you and your guests again in the future! Robin


We typically wear concert black for ceremonies. We can provide some sparkly jackets for special events!
We have hundreds of suggested songs listed on our website, but songs that are special to you and your fiancé are always welcome.
Cello and piano represent the “Strings” part of the Silver & Strings Trio with the flute providing the “Silver.” This combination offers more variety than like instruments can provide. The piano offers fullness of sound and sets the rhythm, the cello provides a beautiful melody or bass line, and the flute shines on its own. Enjoy listening to our videos on Zola for examples of classical and popular ceremony music, our concert at St. Paul’s for jazz and other selections, and our Christmas concert at Zoar. Our unique sound, style, and professionalism is evident in every setting. We think you will enjoy the variety that we can provide!
Of course!
Weddings, cocktail parties, and receptions are our specialty! We provide a portable piano if needed, and sound equipment if desired.
We typically arrive an hour ahead of time for wedding ceremonies to set up and get necessary cues from your officiant. We also provide our own music coordinator to help everyone line up and know when to process to our music.
