Overview

My name is Qi Cao. I am a multi-award winner and a professional violinist from the North Carolina Symphony. I am also a teacher at the North Carolina Chamber Music Institute and the Triangle Youth Music. I hold a doctorate degree from the UW-Madison and a master degree from Yale University.

I have played over 800 weddings, memorial services, baby showers, birthday parties, cooperate events, and religious services in different cities and states.

I provide solo violin (in classic, pop, movie, religious, Disney and other genres) for any events. If you prefer a duo, a trio or a quartet, I can make arrangement as well.

You deserve the highest quality. Thank you for your consideration.

Amazing

Qi played the violin for my wedding ceremony and the music was beautiful. We received compliments all night about her excellent work and she was able to play every song I requested. I could not recommend her more highly.

Made our ceremony magical

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Qi! She played beautifully throughout our wedding ceremony and added such an elegant, romantic atmosphere to the day. I really appreciated how honest and knowledgeable she while discussing our song selections. She gave thoughtful feedback on what would sound better on violin, which made the process so much easier and ensured everything sounded amazing. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was such a joy to work with. Highly recommend!
