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.

May 3, 2026Alberta did a wonderful job at our 2nd annual Women's Day Tea. She was ready and very professional. Her music provide a nice backdrop to the festivities for the day. I was impressed as she was able to incorporate different genres into the day. I would definitely book Alberta again.

March 10, 2026Alberta was flexible and easy to work with for my wedding, transitioning from playing by herself to playing with a string quartet, and working together with my wedding coordinators to make all the details come together. Hearing Pachelbel’s Canon live as I walked up the aisle was beautiful and moving! Thank you so much, Alberta.

October 15, 2025We were incredibly fortunate to have Alberta perform at our wedding ceremony. Her talent and passion truly elevated the entire ceremony and made the moment unforgettable. From the first note to the last, every piece was played with such grace and emotion, it brought tears to our eyes and left our guests in awe. Thank you Alberta for making our special day even more magical!

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 of it rains because my instrument cannot get wet.

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.)
