Overview

Hey gig world! I'm a skilled, spirited musician with experience playing for weddings, parties, and other events, often in an ensemble I put together and manage. I'm capable of arranging requested music for the given ensemble, something I work hard at and really enjoy. Violin is my primary instrument, but I am also accomplished at guitar. I play solo and ensemble music with considerable flexibility in style, though I mostly play classical. I'm a nice guy too, and I love working with and playing for others.

-A recent client lauded my “skill and flexibility. Despite the unexpected downpour during the beginning of the wedding, Jamie’s professionalism and poise continued to impress us.”

Great wedding ceremony music!!

Jamie was a professional from the moment I first started contact with him, very responsive to all of my requests and was very accommodating! He ended up learning a new song and working with my DJ to make my dream become a reality!

About

I am a college musician studying at the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music, one of the top music schools in the country. I have experience playing for weddings, parties, and other events. I can play on my own, but I also organize and play in ensembles, including but not limited to violin/piano and string chamber groups. My primary instrument is violin, but I am also accomplished at guitar.

I am capable of arranging requested music to fit a certain ensemble (although this isn't always possible or ideal!). I can do this given the piece's name, recording(s), and any specific requests. This can come in handy since what is desired isn't always available in sheet music for the particular lineup.

I'm an enthusiastic worker, a fast learner, and a passionate player.

Generally, I can quickly learn specific pieces or collections of chamber music, and I have or can acquire such collections. I also have larger classical pieces for solo violin or violin and piano.
