10/10 musician!

Nothing went as planned for my ceremony, but he was still as kind as ever, played beautifully, and was very understanding with all the last minute changes and slip ups!

About

Brian is a current resident of Little Rock and has been playing the violin for over 25 years. His broad range of styles include classical, show tunes, and about anything else. He studied under the tutelage of Eric Hayward, former Associate Concertmaster of the Little Rock Symphony, and Dr. Linda Hsu, Concertmaster of the Conway Symphony Orchestra.

Set list

For weddings, I have the standard repertoire (Jesu, Pachelbel's Canon in D, Ava Maria, etc.), along with various other pieces from movies and pop artists. If you have a special request and I don't have the music for it, then the purchaser will be given a fee for the total cost when it is obtained by the musician.

Influences and inspiration

My influences in music performance has to be John Williams, a music composer that has written music for Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., Schindler's List, and much more, and Eric Hayward, my first violin teacher who was Principal Second Violin at the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Both have such a passion for what they do and I have learned a lot from my teacher.
