Classical violin and pop performances
Overview
I offer wedding, private events, and celebration of life services that cater to what you would like for the event. For these events I can arrange songs/pieces specifically to your taste to enhance the moment. I also have experience in classical music, pop songs, and broadway musicals. I am classically trained in violin performance from UCLA where I performed outreach for the community, participated in studio sessions, and played for parties and weddings.

October 20, 2026Perfection!
Jelena made our cocktail hour fancy and cool. Such a professional and also resourceful troubleshooting any issues that came up. She is super sweet, and the source of calm in a hectic evening for me! I thought her addition of nostalgic punk rock songs to the performance was thoughtful and fun.

Jelena’s beautiful violin music helped us provide a sweet, lovely send off for our mother. She is so talented, compassionate and professional. We were so blessed to have her at the service.

On time and played very well! The service was professional from beginning to end, and her music was a fantastic addition to my proposal. Was able to turn my custom request into reality for the event. Would recommend to everyone!!

June 19, 2026Played Beautifully!
Jelena played so good at my daughter’s wedding at a golf course. She played the songs that I asked her to play and changed songs exactly at the right moments during the procession and the ceremony. The sound of her violin elevated the elegance of the wedding!

April 13, 2026Beautiful music to enhance our event
It was wonderful working with Jelena, she was very communicative and helpful when we asked for some specific pieces to be played. The music sounded great and all the guests were quite impressed with the sound. Very professional and on time for set up. Just what we needed to add something magical for our special day!
