Alberta Barnes
Overview
I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Violin Performance from the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music. I have performed professionally at private events for over 20 years in a diverse range of venues. I play professionally with a number of different ensembles in the area, including Orchestra Nova Northwest, the Vancouver Symphony, and the Newport Symphony. I also post regularly on my YouTube channel which currently has over 120 videos - check out the videos embedded on this page! As a classical violinist, I love bringing a touch of elegance and class to events, and it is an honor to be able to share in memorable events in people's lives through the joy of music.

July 27, 2026Amazing Wedding Violinist
Alberta was absolutely amazing! We are so thankful for her and her willingness to play at our event at such last minute notice. We had two songs that were really special to us, and she managed to play them perfectly for our ceremony. Her music created such a beautiful atmosphere for our ceremony

June 26, 2026Alberta is a true professional violinist, Five Stars
I gave Alberta different you-tube clips of the specific music I wanted and she accepted and played them beautifully for our wedding. We even changed a tune on her two days before our celebration, and she agreed and adapted so quickly. Her skill is excellent and she was so agreeable to our request of when to stop and start her violin playing during our religious wedding ceremony. I highly recommend her, she is professional, extremely skilled and makes the event spectacularly special. She is high quality.

What to expect
If you are looking for a solo violinist for your wedding, party, or other event, I'm here for you! I play primarily classical music but I do also have a repertoire of pop and other genres of music - just let me know what you're looking for! I am very quick and responsive with all communication and I will work to make the music for your event better than you are imagining! I only ask to be indoors or under shelter if it rains because my instrument cannot get wet.

Additional booking notes
None - I play acoustically. Please note that I do not use any sound equipment and I do not play with backing tracks. If you would like a fuller sound than solo violin, please discuss with me prior to booking and we can talk about arranging a larger ensemble (i.e. violin/ cello duet, trio, quartet, etc.)
