Solo
One Instrument
If you want a violin or a viola playing alone I am the musician for your event! That said, if you want a cello or any other instrument playing alone, please reach out still because I can coordinate with other musicians I know in the area so we can get them booked for your event.

Duet
Two Instruments
Typical combinations that make up a duet include the violin and the viola, the violin and the cello, or the viola and the cello, but we can really do any combination of two instruments that you would like. Duets have a slightly more filled out sound than a solo because there are two lines of music interacting with each other with this ensemble.

Trio
Three Instruments
The most typical trio you will see with string instruments is one violin, one viola, and one cello, but, of course, we can do different combinations to your liking. With three instruments we really start filling out the sound of the music because of the different musical lines that interact with each other.

Quartet
Four Instruments
This is the most iconic small ensemble you will see with string instruments. The traditional string quartet consists of two violins, one viola, and one cello. This is the most commonly requested ensemble for events I have played with the four instruments working together to produce a beautifully filled out sound, really providing events with the best that string instruments have to offer.

Other
Personalize the Experience
My area of expertise is in the violin family (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), but I know musicians in the area that specialize in other areas. We could book a pianist, guitar player, or singer for your event to name just a few options outside of the violin family. We can also do any sort of combination you could think of. I have always really enjoyed playing violin or viola along with a guitar player because the guitar can fill in the background chords so nicely to the melody line that I play. I am also a singer and know other singers in the area, so if you want any vocals at your event please keep me in mind for that as well. Pricing will depend on the number of musicians you are interested in having in the ensemble of your choosing. You can look at the previous options listed to get an idea of what pricing may be for what you are thinking.
