“the violinist was a beautiful addition to our ceremony / Lev played great ”
Overview
Hi there! Thank you for viewing my profile! I am a classically trained violinist who has been teaching and gigging in the Houston area for the last several years. I love playing music, and my goal with each performance is for the audience to love listening to me as much as I love playing! I offer services as a solo musician for smaller, more intimate events, and can also act/be booked as a liaison for duets, trios, quartets, and other ensembles of various compositions! Want a string quartet for a wedding? Done! Violin and voice for a loved ones funeral? Done! I look forward to being a part of your events, be it a wedding, funeral, work party, surprise engagement, and more!

April 12, 2026Great time, Great energy, Great performance
Man Dustin was great, he did amazing, played amazing, sounded amazing, but also just made the whole experience great, got there early and planned with me the positioning and angles of the proposal, and was just a great person to be around. I couldn’t recommend him more, I will definitely book for the wedding.

September 22, 2025Good time!!!
We hired Dustin for our 10th wedding anniversary dinner, and he was absolutely wonderful. His performance created such a romantic and elegant atmosphere, making the evening truly special for us. Not only is he a very talented musician, but he is also kind, professional, and easy to work with. Our guests were impressed and touched by the music, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

July 25, 2023Versatile and Skilled Violinist
We asked Dustin to learn and play “A Moment Like This” and other songs on short notice and he delivered nothing short than a masterpiece performance. We were all so impressed with his skill on the violin. He was very easy going and flexible showing patience through a schedule delay. Thank you so much ! You made our special day even more special with your violin!

About
Dustin Cunningham is a locally grown Houston area violinist. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah before his family relocated to Texas quick as they could, opening the door for him to begin studying the violin in school at the age of 10. Since then, he has been inseparable from his violin and making music, having played in orchestras and ensembles throughout Houston and the United States, including on such stages as Sarofim Hall, Jones Hall, the Moores Opera House, and The Grand 1984 Opera House, at Lincoln Center Square in New York City, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. He recently gave a solo recital at the University of Houston in November 2022.
He has studied with Dr. Jackson Guillen of Terra Nostra Ensemble, Dr. Javier Pinell, professor of violin at Sam Houston State University, and currently with Dr. Kirsten Yon at the University of Houston. Dustin has performed in masterclasses with James Dunham, Will Fedkenheuer, and the Formosa Quartet, and regularly performs at various private and public events throughout the city. He loves playing small-ensemble chamber music, watching a good musical (or playing in one), singing along in the car, eating chocolate covered almonds, and relaxing with a nice glass of chocolate milk after a long day.
