Sarah Stoloff, Cellist

My typical setup at events simply requires a chair and spot to play. My instrument rarely requires additional amplification or props from the consumer. Repertoire for your event will be pre-determined based on your needs or I will establish an appropriate program that will be suitable for your event.

At a wedding, I typically provide 15-30 minutes of prelude music as your guests are seated. I will follow a program that we determine beforehand so that the music and all aspects of your ceremony flow smoothly together. It is also typical that music is played for a brief recessional as guests leave your event. I am also available to play for a cocktail hour but, depending on your setup, this may require amplification. I am happy to play indoor or outdoor weddings but would be unable to expose my instrument to rain if adverse weather interrupts the event. If you are unsure of what music you would like during your ceremony, I am happy to help you with these decisions.

Please feel free to inquire with me about any type of event to discuss music and pricing. I look forward to talking with you!

I have been playing cello for 16 years and was raised amongst a family of musicians. I studied throughout college at the University of Tennessee and at UNCW, am a member of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra, teach students new to cello, and play events such as galas, weddings, and funerals throughout the year. I am a solo cellist and have access to string ensembles made up of the traditional two violins, viola, and cello or classical guitar. I have studied under renowned cellists in the southeastern parts of the country and participated in competitive orchestra and workshop trainings throughout my schooling. Though I work in the health field, I aim to keep music alive in both my life and in the community. I am classically trained but have experience playing pop music and other alternative genres on cello. I would be happy to discuss your event needs with you and can offer suggestions for program music if needed.

I will require arm-less chair(s) and depending on details of your event, amplification might be necessary. These needs can be easily addressed and resolved!
