Soloing with the 3M Symphony

Overview

Virtuoso violinist can perform as a soloist in a variety of formats. Versatile improviser and multi-instrumentalist composer ( violin, fiddle, mandolin, piano/keys) has worked with music legends and rock stars. I've played in many scenarios, many unimaginable! I also teach lessons here in Minneapolis, also via Skype. And, something new in development: Pet Remembrance Ceremonies. The "magic" comes from my abilities of having perfect pitch, and a retentive memory for many songs upon request. I love recording sessions as well, having been featured on over 100 recordings.

Best violinist and fun to work with!

Jim Price communicated so well and performed a wonderful medley at our wedding reception. His trio had a lovely repertoire and arranged a waltz for us to dance to. Jim and his trio were the nicest people and I would love to recommend them to everyone!

Thank you, Ellie! You were the perfect bride and groom and we were so happy to play for you. The Shostakovich Waltz 2 is now a permanent part of our repertoire. Muck luck and love and success to you! Jim Price and friends.

Wedding

Jim was absolutely incredible and truly elevated the wedding to a level of magic we didn’t even know was possible. We contacted him on short notice and he was so professional, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making the day special.
Jim went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect—learning the favorite songs and adapting to any changes with grace and ease. The music he played during the ceremony brought tears to our eyes and gave every moment an emotional depth that guests were raving about. Guests were so impressed with how beautiful his playing was.
If you’re looking for someone who combines extraordinary talent, professionalism, and an ability to create unforgettable moments, Jim did just that. Hiring him was one of the best decisions made for the wedding day.

Hi Paige! Thanks so much for including me in your wedding! I have played quite a few in my life but yours will burn on in my memory bank. Everyone was so nice and the voyage up there was memorable as well! Jim Price
