I am a cellist who loves classical music, as well as playing beloved popular songs. I often play with piano or in string quartets. Sometimes even with a 2 cello + 1 bass trio!
I give concerts, I play cello on recordings, and I perform background music at weddings and socials.
"My objective is to play with the kind of precision and sensitivity that brings people to life. I put every ounce of myself into reaching every ear and every heart." -Catherine Little, cellist

A concert! Sharing a time filled mostly with music and a little bit of talking. After that, I love playing music for a party. It really sets the tone and changes the atmosphere completely, just by adding beautiful music.
I started gigging when I was about 16, playing at weddings in string quartets. Now I'm in my 40's, and I play in all sorts of combos. I love to do cello with piano in particular because the cello becomes the voice, and the piano is the band :) At this point I have played well over 300 concerts and events. Performing is what I focus most of my time on doing.
I've been most influenced by all of the pop and folk divas like Celine, Mariah, Whitney, Dolly, Jewel, Sarah MacLachlan... and then there's my first love - classical music, which speaks directly to the heart.
For a background music performance, we arrive a about 1.5 hours prior to the performance to set up. We often are hired to play for 2 hours with a short break in the middle, but this really depends on the event and the clients needs.
For a concert, we arrive about 2.5 hours in advance, to have time to sound check and take a break before the doors open. This can vary, depending on the venue.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
We offer a list of over 250 songs for clients to choose from. If the client has requests from outside our list, we will add up to 3 new tunes at no extra cost to them.
"Classy and special". "Emotional". "Such talent".
My objective is to play with the kind of precision and sensitivity that brings people to life. I put every ounce of myself into reaching every ear and every heart.
I dress up. Beautiful music requires a visual to match.
I'm a classical musician who loves to play many genres.
If it's a wedding or background music, I alway bring amplification, and never blast the sound. This way, everyone hears the music, and the conversation too.
