Xinou Wei Strings
Overview
Greetings dear clients! This is XinOu Wei, violinist and leader of XinOu Wei Strings. We would be the most wonderful wonderful choice for your occasion. We are the strings of choice of the legendary Richard Clayderman at his "Timeless Romance" Carnegie Hall concert. We are virtuosic players can play in the highest artistic level-be it pop or classical. We could perform in all combinations-from solo violinist to string orchestra. Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music, as well as old American classic songs. I’m happy to share with you my playlist of songs in which you may choose from, I can also take a number of requests if the songs of choice are not included in my list.

Xinou really played the big part and making our day so special. In the I reached out to him he was so easy to communicate with and ask all the right questions and literally did everything that I asked him to do. All of my guests were raving about how perfect it was. I would highly recommend him for your event. !

May 14, 2026A Wonderful and Kind Entertainer!
We hired XinOu to play the violin for our wedding cocktail hour. He was extremely easy to work with leading up to the date. The day of the wedding he played seamlessly and beautifully! Our guests raved about him and one even booked him for their wedding as well! It was lovely getting to see him play again at their wedding last month. XinOu is kind, professional and incredibly talented! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.

April 24, 2026A perfect evening!
XinOu Wei just performed at our son’s wedding reception this weekend and he and his group were absolutely perfect! We could not have hoped for a better performance. They made the wedding so incredibly special.
All throughout the booking and planning stages he was so very professional, responded immediately, and was incredibly accommodating.
I have never had the privilege of working with anyone who so far exceeded my expectations.
Absolutely wonderful!!

Dear clients, greetings to you! It is with great pleasure to meet you on this platform. This is XinOu Wei, a violinist based in New York. I have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I led my 12-piece string orchestra in concert at Carnegie Hall with the legendary pianist Richard Clayderman for his “Timeless Romance” concert tour-one of the biggest shows in North America. We would be the most wonderful choice for your occasion. We are virtuosic players who can play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level, be it pop or classical. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio quintet, string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. I’m happy to share with you our playlist of songs in which you may choose from, I can also take a number of requests if the songs of choice are not included in my list. Though Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. I grew up having them in my ears and it is always a highlight for me when asked to present a evening of Viennese music-waltzes, Polkas, Marches, and Operetta excerpts of Lanner, Strauss, Lehar, Ziehrer Schrammel, Heuberger, and Hellmesberger. Many of these works were originally intended, and realized by small ensembles such as a quartet or quintet in Hotels, Cafes, balls, and soirées in Vienna. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.
As a violinist, I have played in all prominent New York concert halls-as well as in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, London, Lucerne (with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle), and have worked with the greatest conductors on earth, such as Sir Simon Rattle, and Riccardo Chailly. I have performed in a private recital for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine, as well as leading at America-Israel Cultural Foundation's 75th Anniversary Gala Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York, hosted by Itzhak Perlman. As a recitalist and chamber musician, I have performed with some of the foremost musicians of our day, such as James Ehnes and David Aaron Carpenter at Carnegie Hall.
I have made my home in New York since 2011, and since then have led numerous orchestras as concertmaster, those include Camerata New York, Garden State Philharmonic, Long Island Opera, Loft Opera, Central Park Symphony, Adelphi Orchestra, Glen Rock Pop, Livingston Symphony Orchestra TriCities Opera, Syracuse Opera, and most recently-New Jersey Festival Orchestra.
