Enchanted Cello by Dawei Tan Transform your special event with the warm, enchanting sound of live cello.

My technical requirements are minimal and adaptable. For acoustic performances, I only need a suitable performance space, a chair without armrests, and a quiet area for preparation before the event.

For larger venues, outdoor events, or spaces with limited acoustics, I can provide my own professional PA system. A standard power outlet may be required when amplification is used.

To prepare the best possible performance, I would need the following information about the venue:
Venue address and location details
Indoor or outdoor setting
Performance area and available space
Expected number of guests
Event schedule and exact performance times
Acoustic conditions of the venue
Access information (parking, loading, stairs, distance from entrance)
Availability of a power outlet if amplification is required
Any venue-specific rules or restrictions
This helps me adapt the setup, repertoire, and sound requirements to create the best experience for your event.

I can perform acoustically or provide a professional PA system, depending on the venue and the size of your event.

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.

One of my most memorable performances was playing for a private event where the music became a central part of the experience. Seeing guests genuinely moved by the cello and creating a unique atmosphere for such an important moment reminded me why I love performing.
I have had the privilege of performing in beautiful and inspiring locations, from prestigious Paris venues to intimate private settings. Each venue has its own character, and I enjoy adapting my performance to make every event feel special and personal.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who want a personalised musical experience, whether it is a romantic ceremony, a sophisticated cocktail reception, or a memorable surprise performance.

I am a classically trained cellist with many years of experience performing in concerts, chamber music, orchestras, and private events. I trained in France at renowned institutions including the Conservatoire Régional de Paris, Schola Cantorum de Paris, and École Normale de Musique de Paris, studying with internationally recognised cellists.
My journey into gigging started through my passion for sharing the cello beyond the concert hall. Over the years, I discovered the unique power of live cello music to transform weddings, private celebrations, and special events into unforgettable experiences.
Today, I combine my classical expertise with a versatile repertoire, performing elegant arrangements of classical pieces and contemporary songs for weddings, proposals, corporate events, and private occasions. My goal is always to create a beautiful and memorable atmosphere tailored to each event.

I have been most influenced by great artists who combine technical excellence with deep emotional expression. As a cellist, I have been inspired by legendary musicians such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Pablo Casals, and Yo-Yo Ma for their extraordinary artistry and their ability to make the cello speak like a human voice.
Beyond classical music, I am also inspired by artists who create powerful emotions and connect with people across cultures. I admire musicians such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and The Beatles for their unforgettable melodies and storytelling through music.

I normally arrive at least 1 hour before the performance to set up. I usually perform for 2 x 45 minutes , and I would be happy to play longer with extra fee.

I'm glad to play outside but under a shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

Yes of course, I would be glad to learn a specific song that is special for my clients .

Clients most often describe my performances as elegant, emotional, and unforgettable. They appreciate my professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail, as well as my ability to create the perfect atmosphere for each event.
