October 24, 2026Beautiful Performance and a Pleasure to Work With
Katsumi was an absolute pleasure to work with at our GALA. She arrived early, was professional, well-prepared, and worked seamlessly with our entire entertainment and production team. Her violin performance was beautiful and added an elegant touch to the evening.
As an event producer, I truly appreciate talented musicians who are not only exceptional at their craft but also easy to work with. Katsumi was wonderful from start to finish, and I would happily recommend her for any special event. Looking forward to working together again.

May 4, 2026So Talented!!
Katsumi was an absolute highlight of our wedding day, bringing a level of elegance and emotion that truly made the ceremony unforgettable. Her violin playing was not only technically beautiful but deeply expressive, creating the perfect atmosphere from start to finish. She was professional, punctual, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, helping everything run smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how moving and unique the music was, and we couldn’t agree more. Katsumi’s talent and presence added something truly special to our celebration, and we’re so grateful she was a part of it.

November 13, 2023Katsumi is the best at her craft!
Katsumi fitted right in to the event. She was present, made everyone feel at ease and was the highlight of my birthday festivities. You can tell she’s passionate about her craft, it shows as we all watched her played the strings of her violin delivering quality experience and a sense of peace and union without words.
Thank you for mastering such a beautiful gift. Everyone definitely need to witness your art on display. Definitely will be booking Katsumi for all of my events.

September 27, 2026If I could give more stars I would!
Katsumi was beyond amazing. Our venue was flooded from a Noreaster and Katsumi was so kind to travel to a different location last minute. Her talent is beyond amazing and we are so grateful for her. Our guests loved the music so much. We had a custom playlist that suited our interests and we couldn't be happier. We would book Katsumi again in a heart beat.

What to expect
After the official booking has been made, I will work together with you to create the music selection / setlist for your beloved one or your guests. Then I check - learn - review the requested music, do the official paperwork if needed ( COI etc.. ) , brush up the performance always, arranging the music if it's more than solo, prepare the music ahead of time, secure and check the travel schedule carefully, keep my health physically & mentally as the best condition, get the event location around 30 minutes before the event, do the sound check, then perform. Sometimes, I have to complete those in the last minutes, but I do.
You can hear live musician's sounds after those listed above have done, finally! Let's enjoy the special moment together!!
