Overview

Sarah has played for over 15 years, is the cellist of Arbor Strings, and a member of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra. She has performed in large and small ensembles throughout her musical career and has always favored playing for events as a solo cellist and as part of small ensembles. Sarah can provide a complete repertoire of traditional wedding and entertainment music and is open to special requests even if they aren't typically written for cello (i.e., pop music, jazz, blue grass). Sarah is happy to speak with you about arranging solo cello or a string ensemble with your choice of violins, viola, or classical guitar to entertain your guests with beautiful live music at your event.

Wonderful, Easy to Work With!

We booked Sarah and her trio, Arbor Strings to play here in Downtown Smithfield to provide entertainment on a Friday night when we closed the street to allow for outside dining and family-friendly fun. They arrived on time and ready to play. They played a great variety of music, from classical to contemporary, and everyone really enjoyed them! One of the highlights is when they had a large group of toddlers and preschoolers dancing in front of them and played “Baby Shark,” which no one expected, but it was a hit! I would absolutely book Arbor Strings again!

Top notch cellist!

Sarah did an amazing job playing at my wedding ceremony in Wilmington! She was professional and prompt in all her communication, and she even learned a new piece of music that we wanted to be played at our ceremony. She was wonderful to work with and very talented! Do not hesitate to book her for any cellist needs you may have!

Sarah is amazing!

We had Sarah as a solo cellist for our wedding! She did amazing. She played beautifully, the ceremony went so smoothly and she was so professional. It has been a dream of mine to have a solo cellist at our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you so much, Sarah!

A Perfect Touch of Class

I am so happy and fortunate to have found Sarah for my daughter's wedding!
Leading up to the event, Sarah was extremely responsive to questions, and was very proactive in helping to plan the ceremony and cocktail hour music. The day of activities were perfect. The trios' arrival occurred well in advance of the scheduled time. Personally, I felt that the music provided was perfect for the event, playing a great mix of classical and pop selections. As wedding guests thanked us for the great ceremony and party, we received MANY comments specifically directed towards the great touch of elegance the trio added to the day! If you are having a tough time selecting musicians, I'd recommend you look no further and book Sarah before somebody else does!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Very professional

Sarah and Christa Faison were an awesome duo. They worked very well with our vocalist who they had never met and made the entire event effortless. They communicated with the vocalist independently and took that off our shoulders. Sarah was prompt in her responses and very professional as well as being punctual. They played beautifully, we were very pleased. It was an awesome experience.

Outstanding Solo Work

Sarah Stoloff performed as cello soloist with Mizpah Congregation's choir and organ arrangement of Kol Nidre. She was professional in every way. Her playing was beautiful and well received.

Price Range: $150 and up

Gig Length: 30 - 160 minutes

What to Expect

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!

About

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.

Additional Booking Notes

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!
