Overview

Bring your event to life with live violin that blends elegance, energy, and modern music! I perform a wide range of styles, from classical and romantic favorites to pop, jazz, funk, fiddle, Klezmer, and indie-folk. Inspired by artists like Lindsey Stirling and the modern-meets-classical sound of Bridgerton, I love putting a fresh, exciting spin on songs your guests already know and love.

Brilliant violinist, top professional

It was a pleasure asking Emily to play the violin for my proposal. Emily helped plan the event, and also helped to put me in touch with a photographer. She was prompt to reply, and went out of her way to make my evening as memorable as possible. She played each of the songs I had requested, and sounded brilliant. Overall, could not ask for any more. Thank you :)

Incredible!!!

We had the most incredible experience with Emily as the violinist for our Galentine’s party! She absolutely made the night. Not only is she unbelievably talented, but she went above and beyond by learning “Stacy’s Mom” just for us — and it was a total crowd favorite.

She played so many fun, high-energy hits that kept everyone singing, dancing, and completely entertained all night long. Her vibe was perfect for the party — professional, engaging, and just so much fun.

If you’re looking for someone who can elevate your event and create such a memorable atmosphere, Emily is your girl. We cannot recommend her enough!

What to expect

Hi! I'm Emily, a Boston-based violinist and Berklee College of Music Alumni who performs for weddings, cocktail hours, parties, proposals, corporate events, memorials , special celebrations , and more!

My specialty is making the violin fit YOUR event. I perform everything from elegant classical music to modern pop, jazz, funk, fiddle, Klezmer, indie-folk, and more. Want a beautiful processional for your wedding? A romantic song for a proposal? Your favorite pop song at your party? I'm happy to work with you to create the right musical experience.

I also offer duos, trios, and full-band options, so your music can range from an intimate solo violin performance to a high-energy live band.

One of my favorite things about performing events is making the music feel uniquely yours. I've even learned special song requests for clients because sometimes the song you REALLY want is the one that makes the night.

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Influences and inspiration

My influences span classical, pop, folk, jazz, and contemporary violin. I'm especially inspired by Lindsey Stirling and by the modern-meets-classical sound of shows like Bridgerton, where recognizable contemporary songs are transformed into elegant, dramatic arrangements. I love bringing that same energy to live events, combining beautiful classical sounds with modern music that guests know and love.
