Overview

Hi there! My name is Nathan Shimon, and I've been playing the cello for around 14 years now. I've performed with two youth symphonies, including as principal cellist of the Youth Orchestra in the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras, and have recently graduated from Luther College with a BA in Cello Performance. I'm on Gigsalad to earn a few extra bucks for graduate school, and I'd love to help make your event memorable!

Wonderful addition to our day

Nathan is not only extremely talented, he is a top notch professional. We loved having him for our wedding ceremony. He set the tone for the start of a special day and I’m so happy to have found him. Booking was easy and I highly recommend!

Excellent Performance - Would hire again

We hired Nathan to play at our candlelight vigil. He was just what we needed, was timely, very friendly, and played great. He had a selection of songs we could choose from and they all fit the tone of the event. The ones we ended up selecting were great. Would book again!
