Solo cello for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, and high end social events. My repertoire ranges from Bach to the Beatles and beyond. I have selections from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century musical periods, as well as jazz, American standards, folk, classic rock, country, and modern pop and rock. I'm also an excellent arranger, and am happy to take song requests.
String Trio and Duo also available.
I was educated at The Boston Conservatory, The Hartt School of Music, and The University of New Hampshire. For the past 15 years I've been freelancing in the Connecticut area, and have extensive experience performing at weddings both as a soloist and part of an ensemble.

June 15, 2026Chris played for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chris made the booking process simple and he was very responsive leading up to the big day. I chose both classical and modern songs and he did a fantastic job with every one. I truly believe the music really MADE my ceremony. Thank you for everything Chris!

December 15, 2025I booked Chris to be part of a band where he playied along with 4 songs. He was precise and played beautifully even without reheasal. He came early to the gig to make sure everything would work right. I highly recommend Chris and I'll definitely book him again!

July 22, 2025Chris and his violinist played a big part in making my mom's 80th birthday a really special day. Lovely music that tied the whole party together with class as people mingled with each other. I'd never booked musicians before so it was very helpful to me that he doesn't need instructions, just put him in the right spot and he'll know what to do.
