Overview

I am currently a masters music student at The Juilliard School and a recent alum of Rice University (Houston, TX). I have played at weddings, nursing homes, dinner parties, conferences, museum events, on a sidewalk corner, and everything in between! I can play as a solo violinist or pianist. Or, I can call my large network of musicians to form a duet, trio, or string quartet for your event needs. I have a large selection of classical, wedding, pop, Christmas, religious, Bollywood, and other sheet music. I have a composition background and can arrange any song (I mean anything—just give me a YouTube link!) for any number of instruments.

Super service.

Great job. On time. Exactly as advertised learned the 80s ballads that made my wife very happy on our surprise anniversary.

Amazing Performer

Molly was fantastic! She was organized and easy to communicate with. She arrived early and ready. It was such a pleasure working with her to set up this surprise proposal to my partner.

Molly the Great!

Molly is a professional! She arrived early to set up. She already had the schedule of events and songs prior to the big day and she executed the violin beautifully. She really made the day special for us. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Booking information

Price range: Starts at $150

Languages: English

Gig length: 15 - 240 minutes

What to expect

I'd like to know the location, total time commitment, and set list (if you have one). You can request a solo violin (just me!) or I can call on my friends to provide a duet, string trio, or string quartet. You can also request a set list of music or a genre such as "light classical," "pop music," or "wedding music."
After the details are known, I will give you my final quote based on the following information: amount of music, number of musicians, and travel time.
After that, I'll see you at the gig—I'm always 15 min early! I typically wear concert black or business formal, provide my own stands and sheet music, and all I need is a chair to sit on. If it rains, I must be covered completely. I will not play outside if it is below 50 degrees. A microphone is not needed unless the party is over 250 people.

About

I recently received my Masters at Juilliard and moved to LA to start a conducting fellowship at Colburn in downtown LA. I graduated from Rice University with a degree in music composition. I am an experienced musician with a large selection of music for gigs—ranging from John Legend's "All of Me" to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, to personal arrangements. I play violin, viola, and piano. I can also call on my large network of musicians to put together a duet, string trio, string quartet, or any other combination. I am a great communicator, punctual, friendly, and succinct! I will always show up early to the event. I provide my own stand and sheet music.

Additional booking notes

I can bring my own stand. I will not need a microphone unless the party is over 250 people. I will wear concert black (or something else if you request).

Influences and inspiration

If you request an arrangement, my main influence is the "Vitamin String Quartet". Check them out on YouTube! If I arrange a song for you, the sound will be kind of like their recordings, with my own twist. You can always request certain things about the arranging/composing process, too!
