Overview

Cellist here to make your event out of this world! Available for weddings, cocktail hours, holiday parties, and more!
Hi there! I'm Xandria and I've been performing and playing for over 15 years. I've found a niche in gigs over the last 5 years or so, having fallen in love with the ability to make someone's day a little extra special. I'm classically trained, but have played a range of different genres and I'm more than happy to play a cello arrangement of your favorite song, if one exists!
Thanks for visiting my page!

Wedding

We had an outdoor wedding. The music was great. Starship Music was prompt and very easy to work with.
Thank you

Came Insufficiently Prepared

I booked her to play cello on five of my own arrangements at a friend's wedding Mass. For context, I'll start by describing the setup (which I described for her upfront) since it was a little unusual.
I was on piano, I had a vocalist and a guitarist, and we were playing to backing tracks with a click track in our in-ear monitors. For preparation I provided the cellist with sheet music, reference tracks, and rehersal tracks with everything but the cello part (including the click/cue track). So essentially I provided a means to practice the pieces exactly as we would be playing them for the event.
I will grant that I gave her the sheet music and reference tracks for three songs one week before, and the rest of the resources only three days prior to the event. However, they were exceptionally easy pieces, and the cellist gave no indication that preparation would be an issue.
The morning of the wedding we managed to get set up early enough for a soundcheck and full run-through of the music with the cellist. Both the equipment and my other musicians performed smoothly enough, but the cellist was clearly unpracticed. Rhythmically she was unable to follow the click, and she was missing notes all over the place. I was thoroughly disappointed with her performance. I understand that I didn't give much time to prepare, but I don't think anything I asked was unreasonable for a professional musician. At the very least she should have communicated that she was having difficulty preparing.
Perhaps under more conventional circumstances this cellist performs better, but I cannot recommend her based on my experience.

What to Expect

Throughout my time studying cello I have built a wide range of repertoire. I traditionally play classical music for weddings, parties, and events, as well and sing and play ukulele for these events as well.
I am also able to take requests for pieces to play and will personally search or arrange it for you. Playing outdoors in unfavorable weather is extremely dangerous for the integrity of the instrument and I reserve the right to cancel my performance with a refund unless the event has an alternative indoor location.
I will play for the duration of the time agreed upon. For weddings or other time-specific events, I will play each piece in accordance with the event schedule.

About

Hi! My name is Xandria, I am a cellist, ukulele player, vocalist, physicist, and storyteller. I've been studying music for upwards of 13 years now under individual cello instructors and orchestral directors. I've had the privilege to perform as a soloist, in chamber groups, and in orchestras throughout the I-35 Corridor. I love being able to share my music with people for their special events!

Additional Booking Notes

I require very few technical requirements, only a space large enough for a cello and a chair with four legs!
