Music That Gave Us Goosebumps at Glensheen Mansion

I cannot recommend Will and Winspiration Studio enough!

Will performed at my daughter's wedding at the beautiful Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, providing music throughout the ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner. From the moment he started playing, he created an atmosphere that was elegant, emotional, and absolutely perfect for the day.

Will was accompanied by Patrick on piano, and together they were incredible. Their music brought goosebumps more than once and added something truly special to every part of the celebration.

One guest made a comment that perfectly summed up how talented they are. They told me they thought the music was professionally recorded because it sounded so flawless. Then they looked over, realized it was being performed live, and were wowed!

Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the music was and how much it added to the experience. The combination of Will's performance and Patrick's piano accompaniment was simply beautiful. Their music elevated an already magical day and made it feel even more memorable.

If you're planning a wedding or any special event and want music that is elegant, moving, and unforgettable, I highly recommend Winspiration Studio. Will and Patrick helped create memories that we will cherish forever.

Thank you, Will and Patrick, for making our daughter's wedding day so incredibly special. We are so grateful you were part of it! ❤️

Phenomenal! The Perfect Touch to Our Daughter’s Wedding

We can’t recommend Will Samorey of Winspiration Studio highly enough! He performed during the prelude and ceremony at our daughter’s wedding, and he was absolutely phenomenal!

Will has an extensive repertoire, and he was wonderful to work with as we selected our music. We had a couple of special requests, which he happily accommodated. His beautiful playing added such an elegant and memorable touch to the ceremony, and we received so many compliments from our guests!

Will was professional, accommodating, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. He arrived, worked his magic, and handled everything seamlessly.

A true delight to work with! We couldn't have been happier and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to add something special to their wedding or event!

Set list

My music library contains hundreds of carefully selected arrangements covering a wide variety of styles and genres. Clients can choose from classical masterpieces, wedding favorites, modern pop, movie soundtracks, Broadway hits, jazz standards, folk music, Latin selections, video game themes, holiday music, and more.

From traditional ceremonies to modern celebrations, I enjoy helping clients discover music that reflects their personalities and creates memorable experiences for their guests. Custom song requests are always welcome.

Influences and inspiration

My love of music began at an early age and was sparked by the works of Camille Saint-Saëns, particularly his Violin Concerto No. 3 and Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. Their lyricism, energy, and emotional depth inspired me to pursue a lifelong journey with the violin.

During my college years, I studied under violinist Annette-Barbara Vogel, whose artistry taught me that great performances require both technical excellence and compelling storytelling. Later, the teachings of conductor Benjamin Zander further shaped my belief that music is most meaningful when it creates connection and shared experiences.

Today, these influences continue to guide my work as a performer and teacher. Whether performing for a wedding, corporate event, concert, or private celebration, my goal is always the same: to create memorable experiences through beautiful music.
