Hey, my name is Jeff! I'm a violist and multi-instrumentalist who's played for the president of Taiwan, for sold-out crowds at venues from the Rose Bowl to Disneyland Park, for weddings and events across California... and hopefully, for you too!

December 12, 2025I hired Jeff to play at my daughter’s 15th birthday. Prior to the party, Jeff was very communicative and inquired on the type of music we’d like for him to perform. His professionalism is on another level. He was kind and arrived early to set up. His attire was perfect for the event and his demeanor was perfect as well. This was all prior to performing.
Jeff arrived ready to perform with a wireless speaker and his viola. The moment he began playing, my guests were blown away. I have received so many compliments on my party due to Jeff making it so special. My daughter was so excited to have him perform and he did not disappoint. We will hire Jeff for all our future events because we were beyond satisfied! Jeff has true talent, professionalism, presence, and is so kind.

November 11, 2025Jeff was absolutely amazing. He took our taste in music into consideration, made a killer set list, seamlessly set up for the event, and gave a wonderful performance! He was very easy to communicate and coordinate with and is a talented violist. All of our guests thought he made the ambiance even more special and left a lasting impression on everyone. I would recommend Jeff for any event one would want to elevate the atmosphere for.

October 31, 2025Jeff Lu performed as a violist at our daughter’s wedding. Working with Jeff was an outstanding experience. He was not only prompt, but early. He performed beautifully, and was fully aware of and sensitive to the surroundings and occasion. His music was first class, and his demeanor and cheerful presence added a great deal to the ceremonies. I highly recommend Jeff for his viola skills to anyone needing music for their events. He also has a nice website at jeffviolist.com

When I was eight years old, my mom decided that I should pick up either the violin or the piano. I didn't know what either of those words meant, so I went with the one I heard first. Thanks, mom!
After years of classical training, I grew fond of the violin, but along the way I fell in love with a dream much greater: learning every instrument I could. Since then I've picked up the violin, viola, cello, double bass, trombone, and piano, and it's been the greatest gift of my musical career—especially taking the plunge and switching over to viola.
Somehow one thing led to another, and I started traveling the world performing in places like Costa Rica's National Theater and Taiwan's Presidential Office Building. Back at home in Los Angeles, I've played in everything from short films and Broadway musicals to string quartets and symphony orchestras.
But at the end of the day, I still feel like that same eight-year-old kid at heart: noodling around on whatever instruments I can find, chasing new sounds, and trying to use music to navigate this crazy ride we call life. Thanks for joining me!
Additional fees may apply for song requests outside of my repertoire, live attendance at wedding/event rehearsals, or travel time from Glendora, CA exceeding one hour by car.
