May 7, 2025Absolutely amazingggg
Felix was absolutely incredible! He played a beautiful mix of classical and modern music that set the perfect tone for the entire day. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, every piece was performed flawlessly—he truly crushed it! His talent and style added such a unique, elegant vibe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about him all night.
He was also professional, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about what he does. Whether it was a timeless classical piece or a modern hit with a romantic twist, he made each moment feel special. I’m so grateful we had him as part of our day, and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

May 20, 2022Felix Is Phenomenal!
Our Gala Event was a HUGE success thanks to Felix's talent and professionalism! We first hired Felix to perform violin during our cocktail hour and DJ and MC later in the evening, but the event turned into a more complex event as we added a talent show with 7 acts that Felix ran with such ease and poise. He managed
the equipment rental, the organization, rehearsals and ran it like a pro. He was always available pre-event to discuss and offer advices. Felix truly made the night and everyone was blown away by him and his talent!

August 8, 2020Felix was Fantastic and Perfect
Felix is a wonderful, talented consummate professional violinist. Not only is he a prodigious violinist and arranger, but was so detail oriented, communicative, accommodating and friendly. I hired Felix to assemble a string quartet and play “Maybe I’m Amazed” for my surprise marriage proposal to my girlfriend on a street corner in the South End of Boston. He came up with a custom penned quartet arrangement of the classic, sent me a MIDI demo, which was already incredible, and even tweaked it to my taste with some of my comments. He asked me what I wanted them to wear, provided references, and even helped coordinate with a videographer and photographer. They sounded INCREDIBLE. Better than any event string quartet or recording I’ve ever heard. Needless to say, the proposal was magical thanks to Felix... and she said yes.

June 29, 2026A Truly Exceptional Violinist
Felix performed at the opening reception of our art exhibition and exceeded all expectations. His performance was elegant, expressive, and beautifully complemented the artwork, creating an unforgettable experience for our guests. He was punctual, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the event. We received many compliments from attendees and would highly recommend him for any special occasion.

June 6, 2026Really nice touch to the Quinceañera
Felix was super responsive. And was able to deliver on the wide variety of music we asked for. Disney, Reggaeton and Easy listening all jammed into 1.5 hours. He brought his own set up, was punctual. The family thought he was incredible.
