Overview

I trained for 25 years as a classical violinist, including time spent studying under Sharon Zimmerman and Brian Reagan, current Concert Master of the NC Symphony. Now rooted in Durham, I have resumed teaching violin and performing locally at weddings and special events.

I am available for any occasion and have performed at over one hundred weddings. My repertoire includes traditional & contemporary pieces. I love working with couples to find the perfect music for their day! I gladly meet with couples to demonstrate songs and discuss the music selection. Depending on your venue and needs, I can perform acoustically or can bring my PA and speakers.

Please contact me for more information!

Professional Violinist

David made our evening so special. He collaborated with the restaurant to have the music he would play to overhead on the speaker system. Great work and he did a bonus song.

Beautiful addition to an intimate celebration of life

David was a perfect addition to my partner’s celebration of life vigil. He was quick to communicate and was able to adapt perfectly to a playlist that we pulled together. I will absolutely be spreading the word about him bc he can add a unique dimension to any special occasion. Thank you David- we so appreciate you!

Perfect intimate wedding violinist

David played violin for our small wedding ceremony and it was absolutely perfect. David was very easy to work with, professional, and played beautifully. He made wonderful suggestions for the layout of music he played and the song suggestions. We’d love to work with him again in the future for another special occasion!

The Best!

I’ve known Dave for a long time and know that I wanted him and Adam Tierney to be a part of my wedding day since the first time that I heard him perform. Their chemistry and musicianship is incredible. I couldn’t have asked for anything better or anything more. Loved having these special guys part of my wedding. Top to bottom, hands down the best!
