Quartetto Solo
Overview
A stylish, modern, and innovative take on string music. Quartetto Solo is a unique and exciting concept that is over a decade in the making. A single, experienced, professional violinist performs along with virtuoso virtual musicians to create the sound of a full string group. You hear several musicians, but only pay for one. This creation provides the excitement of a live string band with a violin soloist front man.
Upbeat and modern or elegantly classical, I am the perfect choice for your event.
I have performed for over 1000 Chicago weddings and events, it is something I truly love and am very passionate about. Performing for a couple's most special day is magical, and quite an honor.

August 26, 2019Phenomenal Musician and Wonderful Individual
I can't say enough about Adrian. He was courteous and professional from our first contact until we shook hands after the reception. He communicates clearly, responds quickly and does what he promises. His versatility with regard to musical genres was exactly what we needed since we love everything from jazz to classical to contemporary to R&B. His sound was full and clear and his technique impeccable. He was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He plays violin with a very clear track to complete the sound of a string quartet.

August 21, 2019Best Violinist in Chicago!!!
Adrian was the best violinist I have ever worked with! My company coordinates over 40 conferences a year and Adrian gave one of the best performances we've ever seen. Our attendees loved him! If you need to work with someone in Chicago... Hire Quartetto Solo!!!

July 15, 2019The Best!
I’ve hired Adrian of Quartetto Solo for hundreds of weddings and events over the last fourteen years. He is an excellent violinist and our clients have always had nothing but great things to say about him. Adrian is a true professional, and knows what it takes to make an event run smoothly. He is my first choice when booking a violinist for weddings or any other event, and he is a real asset to the String Theory Chamber Ensemble. I recently had the chance experience Adrian’s new project, Quartetto Solo, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement.

About
A stylish, modern, and innovative take on string music. Quartetto Solo is a unique and exciting concept that is over a decade in the making. A single, experienced, professional violinist performs along with virtuoso virtual musicians to create the sound of a full string group. You hear several musicians, but only pay for one. This creation provides the excitement of a live string band with a violin soloist front man.
Upbeat and modern, or elegantly classical, I am the perfect choice for your event.
What I do is unique. Other violinists simply play over the original song, so you have to hear the singer singing the melody while the violin is just playing the same thing as the singer! When you hire a violinist, the star of the music should be the violin, not some singer of a song you could have just played off of your phone. My band actually arranges and records the music for the songs that I play, so you hear original acoustic instrument versions backing my performance. The result is amazing, and sounds just like my full band is there with me. It is a significantly richer musical experience.
I have led two highly successful string groups in Chicago for almost two decades, The Amadeus Chamber Ensemble, and currently String Theory Chamber Ensemble, Chicago's most popular string ensemble. I have received a Bachelor's degree in music performance from Chicago's prestigious Roosevelt University, and have played with many of Chicagoland's finest orchestras. Quartetto Solo is my latest creation, my solo project. I have performed for over 700 Chicago weddings, it is something I truly love and am very passionate about. Performing for a couple's most special day is magical, and quite an honor.
