February 16, 2020I planned out this a event a week in advance for Mark Williams to perform for my fiancé and I on Valentines Day. I am beyond satisfied at the service Mark Williams provided for us. Mark arrived on time and was very professional. Mark played the songs I requested plus had his own play list with songs the were perfect for the setting. Im extremely satisfied with the service he provided for us and would recommend Mark Williams to anyone looking for a violinist.
My fiancé and I were so satisfied with the service we plan on hiring Mark for our wedding!
Thanks Gig Salad and Mark Williams for everything.

February 12, 2020I hired Mark for entertainment at my 55th birthday party. He far exceeded my expectations.
I had previously sent him a list of Pop and R&B songs that I asked him if he could play. He immediately came back and said sure, I will look for the tracks. He was flexible. Agreeing to move up his start time to accommodate changes to my event setup schedule.
My guests were surprised by the violinist. During and after the party, they shared with me how good Mark was and how they enjoyed his performance and song selection.
I would definitely hire him again and recommend him for anyone's event.

Hi Curtis, thanks so much for the feedback. It was a real pleasure playing for such a popping bday party. I especially liked doing some impromptu jamming with Slash the DJ. I hope I can play for you or someone you know in the future. Regards, Mark

Mark Williams specializes in creating just the right mood and feel for any event, offering music that makes you want to tap your toes, cherish a memory, or bust a move. His violin makes you hear passion and see emotion with every bow stroke.
“You weave the threads of music and humanity with grace and skill.”
— Aaron Rosand, Curtis Institute of Music
With a career spanning more than 55 years of performance and over 35 years devoted to bringing joy and connection to audiences, Mark has established himself as a masterful and passionate violinist.
He studied in both Europe and the United States, focusing on classical performance. Throughout his career, he has toured internationally and served as concertmaster for numerous orchestras.
“His passion comes through in every note.”
— Don Milton, Director of Music, UUCA
Mark has always felt an innate transformation when playing the violin—a feeling that began in childhood. While competing internationally, he discovered that the joy of sharing his music was more important than winning another prize. He knew he could help others experience that same joyful bliss, transcending language and cultural barriers. His strings speak directly to the heart, forging a profound connection that makes each performance deeply fulfilling.
“Mark brings that rare mix of technical brilliance and stark beauty to all his performances.”
— Paul and Mel Shaw, The Songbirds
Today, Mark continues to be a highly sought after performer and teacher. He is expanding the genres he covers, exploring traditional American and European folk music, and blending these styles into innovative live-looping performances on electric violins. He steps forward by fusing classical skills with modern technology, but he never loses the heart thread of his art.
Generally we will require an adequate power supply nearby within 6 feet of us if we are using amplifiers of any sort.
