Amazing!

Nicole played at my recent wedding and we were so thrilled to have found her. She was so easy to work with. I sent her a list of suggested songs to play prior to the start of our ceremony and she was so accommodating with the playlist. Her performance absolutely beautiful and added that special touch to our ceremony. We highly recommend her for your occasion!!!!!!

What to expect

I am excited to offer my services for events with live classical music. I can provide background music or performances, and I have a network of skilled musicians to get musical groups together. We can offer various chamber music options, like string quartets and duets, as well as solo music, to enhance the atmosphere of your event.

About

I am a sophomore at Manhattan School of Music, studying under Lucie Robert.

I started to study violin with my mother when I was four and a half years old. At the age of eight I continued lessons at the Kaufman Music Center’s Lucy Moses School with Viktor Basis.

Musical credentials:
- Strong network for chamber music collaborations.
- Former concertmaster of the Norwalk Youth Symphony Principle Orchestra, which had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage in 2023.
- Achievements include First Place at the Vivo International Competition, First Prize at the 2022 Vienna Grand Prize Virtuoso International Competition, and numerous other competition wins.
- Solo performances at prestigious venues like Merkin Hall and Carnegie Hall Weill Recital Hall in NYC.
- Currently involved in a piano trio and previously a member of a quartet that often held benefit concerts and played gigs at the Mather Homestead Foundation in Darien, CT.
- Experienced in providing musical accompaniment for holiday and church services.

Additional booking notes

I have no technical requirments during the service. I kindy ask of you to notify me of gigs in advance so that I can coordinate transportation logistics and confirm the availability of additional chamber musicians if desired!

Set list

I am flexible in musical repertoire and can perform any desired pieces given sufficient preparation time. This encompasses a wide range of genres, from classical ensembles like Mozart string quartets to popular covers and instrument duets. Whether you prefer to provide specific music or entrust me to curate a set list tailored to the event, I are adaptable to meet your preferences.
