Professional Cellist

I provide a unique musical experience curated specifically for each individual event. As a cellist who specializes in both historical performance and composing new music I am fluent in performing a variety of different musical styles. Once a vision for an event is communicated with me, it is my pleasure to create a musical atmosphere to match the experience. Solo cello is a beautiful addition to any wedding, ceremony, funeral, or other event.
