Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a joy and an honor to be part of such a special moment in your lives. Being there to play the violin during your marriage proposal was incredibly emotional and meaningful for me.
I’m so happy that I could help make that beautiful moment even more memorable. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and many wonderful moments together! 🎻🎶🎵

Nancy and I have been married for 25 years. I began to plan the anniversary event three weeks ahead. The two of us hang out at Starbucks almost daily, and I thought: Why not? To my surprise 4 days prior to the event she came to me and said, "Why don't we go to Starbucks on our anniversary morning, as we sit outside most mornings?" I was a bit worried when I asked a star violinist to play for us inside there, but Thiago was cool and composed assuring me that it will work out. On the day of the event I found him in a corner inside SBX waiting for the event to start. I gave a speech to everyone about my wife and our life, and he appeared with insturment in hand and stood at our table and played 3 beautiful pieces: Puccini's Nessum Dorma, O Solo Mio, and They'll be Days like This by Van Morrison. There is no question that HE MADE THE EVENT! EVERYONE loved him. He presents himself with a confident smile, and is an incredible professional.
Book him! My wife is still talking about how wonderful he was, and there are people walking in and out of the SBX coffee shop in Alexandria that still talk about him. When he played, the room froze in awe, and remained absolutely still as he performed. Nancy and I are sure he was the subject of conversation in the surrounding offices and the dinner tables later that day. He is forever encased in our memory. THANK YOU THIAGO!
