Special Events
The solo violin, or piano lend themselves perfectly to small to mid-size, intimate events.
The melodic nature of the violin is simplistic, elegant and intriguing. It is very refined in sound and can be applied to any musical genre that is melodic in nature. Solo piano is widely appreciated spanning multiple genres including jazz, modern popular and classical. I have arranged an extensive repertoire for both violin and piano enjoyable for any occasion. |
Live solo music lends a sense of intimacy and excitement to your private event. My repertoire includes everything from classical, operative arrangements, jazz, modern contemporary and world music.
Typical events that I perform at range from casual affairs to black tie events including:
