Overview

I’m Melissa Folzenlogen, aka Baethoven, a Black and Japanese NY born and raised multi-instrumentalist and singer. I like making music for all people! Every genre, every style, every audience - I’ve played on streets and train cars, I’ve played at SXSW, Lincoln Center and NPR’s Tiny Desk. I’ve done weddings, graduations, parties, festivals, lessons, recordings, surprise marriage proposals (one of my favorite things to do!) you name it, I’ve happily done it. I play covers, I play my own original music with my band Circadian Clock, I play with others like Taimane and Jonathan Moody, but no matter where or what style of music - I'm happy to play for you!

Best Proposal Ever!

Mel was beyond great and professional for my now fiance' and I's big day. She arrived 30 minutes early to set up and was communicative the entire time beforehand. Even with some unexpected delays from a separate party, Mel was very patient and remained very helpful through it all. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone who is considering hiring her!

One of the best nights of my life!

Melissa made my engagement night complete. Her skills, expertise and professionalism were top notch. Prior to the event she was very responsive, provided a song list and was excited to be a part of our special evening. I had originally requested a set amount of tracks that she agreed to learn and not only were they beautiful but Mel went above and beyond playing overtime. She was prompt on the delivery of the actual proposal and as the night went on we didn't want her to stop! She used a bluetooth speaker as accompaniment and it was just perfect. I highly recommend Melissa as a violinist and look forward to using her again for future events. Thank you!!

Melissa is amazing!

Melissa worked with me from the very start to the end, any questions I had she was there for me even with her busy schedule.

I promise that she will go above and beyond for whatever event you hire her for.

Thank you Melissa!

Incredible

Melissa was great for my surprise proposal. She was incredibly talented and was able to play all the songs I requested. She was on time, professional, and she played absolutely beautifully. Will definitely use her services for future events.

Look no further!! Baethoven’s the best!

I hired Baethoven for a surprise marriage proposal and could not be happier with how professional, kind, patient, and helpful Baethoven was throughout the entire process. This was my first experience coordinating something like this and I was nervous about planning the details and executing the surprise. Nevertheless, Baethoven knew exactly what to do, where to be, and seamlessly pulled off the surprise better than I could’ve hoped. She gladly learned the two songs I requested and played them brilliantly. If that wasn’t enough, her fee is a real bargain for the priceless experience she curates. Did I mention Baethoven gladly accepted this gig despite it being on her birthday?! You won’t get that sorta accommodation from anyone else!

Long story short: If you’re planning a proposal—or literally any other special event—hire Baethoven! You’ll be so thankful you did.

Fantastic, Professional, Would Hire Again

I hired Baethoven for a surprise Valentine's Day Proposal for my girlfriend and I couldn't be more happy! She went along with my plan to surprise my girlfriend and nailed it! She pretended to be a random person at the park, then swiftly busted out the violin and played beautifully. She was overjoyed at the combo and said yes!
