His violin playing was anything but ordinary; it was truly special! He played all the songs we requested.

Dr. Johnathan Spence has been sharing his pedagogical methods with his community through teaching and performing for the last 12 years. He received his Doctorate of Music in Violin and Viola under the study of Hagai Shaham at Stony Brook University in 2017. He is also a graduate of East Carolina University, where he studied with Ara Gregorian. Spence continues to perform for chamber music concerts and festivals across the country. His passions include performing chamber music, health and nutrition, swimming in the ocean, and time with his family.
The beautiful thing about string instruments is that we only need the space and ourselves to create magnificent music.
*If the event is outdoors, weather conditions must be above 50ºF with zero precipitation. We recommend having a backup plan in the event of precipitation or poor weather conditions--the instruments will need to be inside should this occur.
We excel in classical music and can also play any song, artist, or genre you would like. We are invested in making your vision come to life!
If the event is outdoors, overhead covering must be provided for instrument protection (tent, patio, etc.)
