Absolutely! Romance and music are inseparable. I would be honored to be a part of such a special occasion.
Yes. I have worked with several vocalists in the past. However, this will require some flexibility on the part of the vocalist to arrange at least one practice session. My goal is to insure the success of your event. I do not believe in 'winging it'. Even if I have played a piece of music a hundred times before, rest assured that if you want that piece played at your event, I will practice it again before your event.
Yes. I recently acquired a new violin for just such events. It is not impervious to weather but the body of the violin is carbon fiber - not wood. Most importantly, it is an acoustic instrument that has a warm, soft tone unlike most electric violins that are used outdoors. As long as I have cover to protect my instrument from the rain, the tone will not change due to humidity or temperature.
Outdoor events have become the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since music is such an important part of my life, I felt that I had to make the investment to be able to perform with the consistency expected by my clients in spite of the wide temperature and humidity swings that we enjoy in the Upstate.
I have played at retirement parties, birthday parties, Christmas musicals, and even anniversaries. Music can enhance nearly any type of event. Please contact me to discuss your event.
The success of your event is more important to me than just playing another gig. To me, my music is an extension of myself. Sometimes my performance style may not meet your expectations. The best way to determine if this is the case is to simply contact me and discuss your expectations and desires. If I do not believe that I can meet your expectations, I will do my best to direct you to someone or another group.
No. I regularly perform with a quartet. So, depending upon your wishes, I can make arrangements to perform as a duet, trio, or quartet.
No. For many of the reasons discussed above, I treat each event as if it were my own. My goal is to make your event as successful as possible. The only way to do that is to talk to you, understand your expectations, and work together to plan a successful event.
You will find that my rates are very competitive. Again, please contact me to discuss your event. I will be happy to share my rates for a 'typical' event. Again, rest assured that I will do everything possible to insure your event is special while still remaining an excellent value.
