What to expect

Whenever I perform, my goal is to make whatever event you may need me for personalized and special. I'm experienced in a wide range of musical styles and languages. Whenever I am hired for a gig, whether it's a wedding ceremony, engagement, funeral, or cocktail party, I work with the organizers to make sure I am meeting and exceeding all expectations. I am punctual, professional, and excited to make your event all that you've dreamed of.

Additional booking notes

My instrument is very temperature sensitive. If your event is outside, part of our conversation on the planning side will be about coverage for shade/rain protection. Additionally, if the time of year is extremely cold, we'll have to discuss options about temperature control to avoid damage to my instrument.
My instrument is not amplified, but if amplification is necessary for your event, I'd be happy to discuss options and needs. It is possible to amplify my cello.
