Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a small performance space suitable for a solo violinist. I use a compact speaker for small events (up to 50 guests).
For larger events, an external sound system provided by the client or a DJ may be required.
One standard power socket (220V) is required when amplification is used.


What information do you require about a venue?

I require the full venue address, access details, and the exact performance location.
Please advise whether the performance will be indoors or outdoors, if there are any sound or volume restrictions, and if parking or loading access is available.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I do not provide lighting equipment. I use a compact speaker suitable for small events (up to 50 guests).
For larger events, an external sound system provided by the client or a DJ may be required.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

For small events, I can play background music between my violin sets using a simple playlist, without live mixing or DJ-style transitions. For larger events or continuous music, a DJ service or dedicated sound system is recommended.


Do you require a technical soundcheck before the performance?

A short soundcheck is recommended when amplification is used, to ensure balanced sound levels and optimal performance quality.
