June 12, 2026My 80th Birthday Party
As guests arrived for my 80th Birthday Party, finding their tables and mingling, comments were made to us by guests how much they were enjoying the violin music that VICKI was playing. She was very professional and a pleasant enhancement to the party atmosphere as she continued playing while guests were dining. VICKI played a variety of music that was appropriate for ALL 97 seniors, family, friends and former colleagues. I highly recommend VICKI the Violinist for any event.

About
Vicki is a classically-trained violinist, having studied under Edgar Muenzer and Eric Wicks, former members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. During her senior year in high school, she was selected to be in the IMEA Orchestra that represented the United States at the International Music Educators Conference in Dijon, France. She was a member of the Chicago Civic Orchestra while attending college; she has also played in the Northwest Symphony and Oak Park Symphony. She was an orchestra and band instructor for 22 years in the public schools.
Additional booking notes
If an event is outside, an active electrical outlet needs to be available in order to plug in the amp. String players need to be sheltered from the sun, due to the harmful effects it may cause to the varnish on our instruments...so, under a tree, an upright umbrella, or small canopy. Weather is an important factor...must be 40 degrees or higher, and not raining in order to play outside.
