Kate plays with feeling!

Kate has been playing fiddle for many years,
She has been playing at our event opening ceremonies for many years, always very touching and emotional. Her playing would be a welcome addition to a graveside service.

What to expect

When you hire me, I’ll arrive 20 minutes before the time for me to play. I’ll meet with you and then tune up. I’ll stand or sit where ever you’d like me by the graveside. I will play whenever you choose me to play. And then I’ll pay my respects and leave.

About

As a kid I’d play violin around the campfire growing up and once I grew up more I played in my high school Orchestra. I got more advanced and performed in The Williamsburg Youth Orchestra. That led me to James Madison University, the school of music. I love music and performing for all people. My greatest love is playing fiddle music which I can easily switch to classical :-)

Additional booking notes

I don’t need anything special. Just a place for me to play.
