Daniela Barros Violin Solo Violinist, Acoustic

For Acoustic Violin Performances:
- A quiet environment (for unamplified acoustic performances, ideal for indoor ceremonies or small, intimate settings)
- One armless chair (if seated performance is required)
- Adequate shade or cover for outdoor events (to protect the instrument from sun or rain)
- Flat, stable ground or floor surface for safe setup

Please provide any specific directions or access details that will help us locate the venue easily and identify the correct area for unloading equipment. Kindly also let us know in advance if the venue has a sound limiter in place.

I provide a sound system suitable for small to medium-sized events. However, I do not supply lighting equipment.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

I enjoy performing in many different settings, but there’s something uniquely special about weddings. The energy is tender, vibrant and deeply genuine — everyone is there to celebrate love, and you can truly feel it in the air. Being able to shape those moments with music is something I’m always grateful for.

I’ve spent the last several years building a versatile career as a violinist, moving between orchestral projects, chamber music, and intimate performances for weddings and private events. My first opportunities came while I was still at university, when I began receiving requests to play at small ceremonies and gatherings. Those early performances naturally grew into more frequent invitations, and I discovered how much I enjoy shaping meaningful moments through music.

I've always felt a strong connection to pop music — its energy, catchiness, and ability to tell stories in such a direct way really speak to me. I can’t say I have a single favourite artist, because I love exploring different styles and discovering new voices alongside the iconic ones. And as for choosing the greatest pop song of all time… that’s impossible! The genre is too wide, too creative, and too personal for there to be just one perfect answer.

My typical setup time is around 45 minutes to 1 hour before the event starts, allowing for soundcheck and any adjustments needed. Performance times usually range from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the event and client preferences. I’m flexible and can adapt to shorter sets, longer receptions, or continuous background music as required.

I’m happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

Yes, clients absolutely have a say in the music I play. I work closely with them to tailor the repertoire to their preferences and the mood of the event, while also suggesting pieces that fit well with the setting. Customising the music helps create a more personal and memorable experience.

Previous clients often describe my performances as elegant, heartfelt, and professional. They appreciate the way I create a warm and memorable atmosphere, tailoring the music to perfectly fit the mood of their special occasion. Many mention how the music adds a touch of sophistication and emotion that enhances their event.

I began playing violin 13 years ago and started gigging during my university years. What makes my performances unique is the emotional connection I create with the audience through carefully chosen repertoire and a versatile approach. I love tailoring the music to fit each event’s atmosphere, crafting memorable and refined moments that truly resonate with clients and guests.
