"We're not going to conquer the world, we don't want a record deal, we just want to get out there and have fun and entertain people."
Though they were "on top of a growth curve", cello player Paula said they weren't going to stop striving for excellence.
"We're incredibly motivated by being the best we can be, by having fun and making music accessible."
The key to the group's speedy success could be their wide music repertoire, their unique arrangement of two flutes and a cello, or their tight-knit friendship, which Paula thought came through in their music.
"We're so close it's ridiculous, I think we know each other better than our families do."
For the past two years the group had been providing music for any function from weddings to corporate events, with their performances varying for each.
"If we have to be subtle we can be subtle," said Dana.
"We just rise to the occasion, we can be centre stage or in the background."
Playing at charity events was also very important, as performing wasn't all about business but also about getting out there.
For Dana, the best part about performing was engaging with the audience.
"We like playing music that surprises people, like playing the weighty stuff mixed in with out-of-the-blue jazz."
The three women became contract players for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra last year, a feat Paula said would not have been possible without each other's support.
"We spent hours practicing individually and egging each other on."
The trio are also supported by their "wonderful husbands" who keep home life ticking over during the four hours a week they rehearse and when they travel. Their husbands also helped out with the band, Dana said.
"Sometimes it's hard to mix couples but it's so easy for the six of us.
"We have the best dinner parties."
