“Trio booked for annual winter gathering were very talented. Christmas jazz was magical. Really set the tone for the evening. Excellent. Highly reccomend. ”
Charlie Alves
Overview
I am a Pittsburgh-based musician who enjoys bringing a special touch to people's weddings, parties, and banquets. The two instruments I play are violin and viola, which I can play both individually and with a group. As someone who plays classical, rock, jazz, and Latin American music, I am happy to find the perfect song that will make your event memorable!

Charlie did a fantastic job. We had a cellist and violinist play at our small, intimate wedding, and they were absolutely wonderful. Their music set the perfect tone for the day.
They were professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. Our ceremony felt so special because of the atmosphere they created. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful live music.
