July 8, 2022Beautiful violin/cello duet
Jesse played at my wedding during the ceremony and cocktail hour and it was beautiful! Everyone loved it and it was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was extremely easy to communicate with, very helpful & kind throughout the whole planning process.

About
My name is Jess Hays and I'm a professional violinist originally from Kingston, NY.
I have performed in many venues/weddings all across New York City, the Hudson Valley, the Adirondack Region, Westchester and parts of Connecticut.
I am a graduate of the Crane School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance and I can offer a beautiful addition to your wedding or any other occasion with classical/pop violin music!
I have performed in various venues including Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall, the Eastman Kodak Theater, Hosmer Hall, Olin Hall, Snell Theater and at the Avery Fischer Center for the Performing Arts.
I started violin at the age of seven after being inspired by concerts my parents had taken me to when I was younger.
Playing the violin and truly feeling the music has always been a passion of mine and a way to express the beauty I see in life.
I would love to help you make your special day or occasion perfect and just the way you envision it!
