June 22, 2025I made the mistake of booking Sophia for ONLY 30 min. She was sooo amazing and all of my guests wanted to hear more of her songs. She was kind enough to extend her services which I’m absolutely grateful for. BOOOK HERR!!! Literally no regrets at all

April 27, 2025Sofia delivered a flawless performance at our club meeting. She arrived on time, was highly professional, and treated all our guests with warmth and courtesy. Her playing captivated everyone—her rich tone and expressive dynamics left a lasting impression on the entire audience. We will certainly invite Sofia to perform for us again. Highly recommended!

April 19, 2024Hi y'all! if your getting and don't have a live violin player....this is your sign!!
Having Sofia play live for our wedding ceremony and reception was the best choice we could’ve made! Accompanied with a pianist, they played all our favorite songs flawlessly. She is extremely talented and went above and beyond to make my music dreams come to life.
We received so many compliments about our wedding music from our guests. Everyone loved it!
I can honestly say that our wedding would not be the same without Sofia!
You don’t need think twice about booking her! Just do it!

Sofia Sednef is originally a Seattle-based musician and a graduate of Seattle Pacific University with a BA in Music Performance, and is currently pursuing graduate studies in violin performance. She began her studies in violin at age seven and piano at age nine, and throughout her junior years, she received foundational, comprehensive, and rigorous education from accomplished European, classically trained instructors. Prior to her university studies, Sofia was a first violinist for the Tacoma Youth Symphony Association, where she also served as second violin principal and a violinist for one of the association’s top string quartets. While studying at Seattle Pacific University, she studied violin with Ilkka Talvi and piano with Dainius Vaicekonis. She served as concertmaster for the SPU Orchestra and was an active violinist in multiple facets of the music department, whether through performances, tutoring, collaborations, or coaching sessions. Sofia currently works as a freelance musician and instructor, and is continually working with all kinds of talented musicians in various professional and musical settings while pursuing further studies.
In my live music services, my repertoire list consists of several genres of music such as classical, contemporary, and jazz. Below is a sample of some of the music I may use for an event:
Canon in D (Pachelbel)
Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring (Bach)
Ave Maria (Bach-Gounod)
Ave Maria (Schubert)
Sicilienne (Maria Theresa Von Paradis)
Salut d’Amor (Elgar)
O Mio Babbino Caro (Puccini)
Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (O. Ferres)
O Sole Mio
Tango Por Una Cabeza
A Thousand Years (Christina Perri)
Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley)
My Heart Will Go On
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Golden Hour (JVKE)
Because You Loved Me (Dion)
You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban)

La Vie en Rose (Piaf)
Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars)
All of Me (John Legend)
Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You (Benson)
The Prayer
Whether in an indoor or outdoor setting, it would be ideal to have a well-sized area to stand and play. If your event is located outside, I will need to stand in a shaded or covered area away from direct sunlight.
