Overview
My name is Lev Ryadchenko, I have been playing violin for 25 years. I am an active member of the Tulsa (OK) Symphony and recent graduate from Eastman School of Music with a Master's degree in Violin Performance. I have performed with renowned orchestras including the Bolshoi Ballet, Moscow Symphony, and given a solo recital in Kilbourn Hall. Aside from my commitment to performing, I devoted my spare time as a Teaching Assistant to Professor Kopelman, former soloist of Tokyo Quartet. I would be pleased to play for your wedding or other party.

This was an unbelievable evening primarily due to Lev’s talent. He plays a mix of classics and modern hits that had everyone swaying and having a good time.

Wow! We didn't know how much of a difference the violinist would make for our ceremony. He made our big moment the most memorizable.

Lev played in Round Rock, Texas for my daughter’s wedding ceremony. He was fantastic to work with by allowing us multiple song selections. His violin made our ceremony so special. He played the songs my daughter selected so beautiful and to perfection. Please select Lev for your next wedding or event.

We celebrated our nana's 99th birthday and wanted to do something super special for her. We thought about having someone play music for her the week of the event, so it was a pretty last minute booking. We really didn't think we would get anyone.
Lev was super responsive and easy to work with! He played some modern hits and some classics which everyone really loved. He was amazing! I will definitely be booking him for future events large and small. Thank you so much Lev!!!!

Lev and the cellist did and amazing job at our wedding this past Saturday. They were very easy to work with ahead of time. They added an unforgettable element to our ceremony that I will always cherish. We were running late to the ceremony and they even added in a few songs that matched our theme and delighted our guests. Couldn’t recommend more!
Classical Duo

Lev was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony. He played while guests were being seated, and throughout the ceremony. He even played our special requests that weren’t on his usual list of songs! Our guests couldn’t say enough about how incredible he was. 5 stars for Lev!
Violinist

Amazing. He played at our daughters quince and we haven’t stopped getting compliments about his performance. Played a variety of hip hop and classical music. Lev was very accommodating to timelines and to our guests. We will definitely reach back out to him.
Violinist

Lev was amazing, beautiful music, very professional. We were in a restaurant and the other tables really enjoyed him also. The manager came by after and asked for Lev’s contact info. Everything was perfect!
Violinist

I appreciated that Lev arrived on time and was great to work with. He dressed the part, was punctual, and
he played beautifully. I had not expected him to play the same song over and over for 30 + minutes, however I guess that I was not specific enough in my instructions and he may have just felt this was what I wanted since I didn't offer other songs. Very happy with my choice to book Lev for our graduation, appreciated the duo with the cello, and hope to book him again!
Classical Duo
Lev was perfect. He arrived on time and was ready to perform. It made our day so special. He played all the songs that we suggested, we are young so we preferred more of the pop style songs. Our guests raved and loved listening. I booked him to play for the guests as they arrived and for the ceremony, he also played for the cocktail hour. My one regret was not booking him throughout the dinner part of our evening. I highly recommend!!

The violin sounded amazing in the songs are perfectly performed. Lev was on time and setup without any hassle. We didn’t do a rehearsal but he still had music timed to the ceremony perfectly, he learned a song to play for us at our request but unfortunately our officiant never queued him to play it. I have no doubt it would have been beautiful. I would definitely recommend booking him if you want a stress-free and beautiful performance

Lev showed up a little early to get acquainted. He preformed for a group of widows at a luncheon that we were hosting. He played while they ate as a great background music, receiving numerous ovations. He mixed his playlist from classical to modern and was well received. He is a very talented player and his renditions was great. Would really consider him again for a similar event.

I highly recommend working with Lev. He was prompt and took appropriate initiative in getting himself set up and playing. His sound was classic and enchanting.
