Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require a performance space of approximately 2–3 square meters. The venue should provide 1–2 suitable speakers, depending on the number of guests and the size of the performance area, as well as a mixing console/mixer. For outdoor ceremonies or cocktail receptions, a shaded area or canopy is required to protect the performer and instrument from direct sunlight.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide the exact venue address, performance date and schedule, including the exact time of arrival, setup and performance. I also need information on how to access the venue and the easiest way to reach it. Please confirm whether the performance will take place indoors or outdoors and provide details about the performance area. For outdoor events, a shaded area or canopy is required to protect the performer and instrument from direct sunlight. Please also inform me of any venue-specific access, parking or setup restrictions.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide professional microphone equipment for the violin. I do not provide the venue’s sound system, PA, or lighting equipment.


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

Yes


Do you offer both classical and electric violin?

Yes. I can perform on both acoustic and electric violin, allowing me to adapt the style and atmosphere to different types of events.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I am a professional violin soloist, creative performer and the creator and artistic director of an immersive Vivaldi project. I have extensive experience performing at concerts, weddings, corporate and private events. My artistic work combines high-level violin performance with innovative concepts and immersive experiences. I perform both classical and electric violin, with a repertoire ranging from classical masterpieces to modern pop, film music and contemporary arrangements.


What's your favourite type of event?

Weddings, luxury private events, corporate events, gala dinners and elegant cocktail receptions. I particularly enjoy events where live violin music can create a memorable atmosphere and become part of the overall experience.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been playing the violin since the age of six and have built a professional career as a violin soloist, performing with orchestras, at major concert venues and at private and corporate events. I have performed extensively across Spain since 2022, including Teatro Real and Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, as well as weddings, diplomatic events and high-profile private celebrations. I also created and developed my own immersive Vivaldi project, combining live classical music with storytelling, theatrical elements and visual experiences.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My musical influences include Joshua Bell, Jascha Heifetz, George Enescu, Renaud Capuçon, David Garrett, Ara Malikian, María Dueñas, Ulyana Janson and Giuliano Carmignola. I am particularly inspired by artists who combine exceptional technical mastery with a distinctive personal style and strong stage presence. I am also deeply inspired by the historically informed performance tradition and by leading Baroque ensembles such as the Netherlands Bach Society and Apollo’s Fire, whose approach combines historical performance practice with energy, expression and innovative presentation.


What makes my performance different?

My performance combines the precision and technical excellence of classical violin training with the energy and versatility of a contemporary live performance. My strong classical foundation allows me to perform any repertoire with a high level of control, expression and musicality. I also pay particular attention to sound quality, using professional microphone equipment to ensure a rich, clear and powerful sound – as well as high-quality audio recordings for videographers. Every performance is carefully prepared and adapted to the atmosphere of the event, creating an elegant and memorable live experience.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually need approximately 2 hours before the performance to set up and sound-check. For a cocktail reception, I typically perform 2 × 45-minute sets, with a 15-minute break between them, during which background music is played via Spotify. The exact format can be adapted to the event schedule.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors. For outdoor events, I require a shaded area or canopy to protect the performer and instrument from direct sunlight. A stable, flat performance surface and access to a power supply near the performance area are also required.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The repertoire is agreed with the client in advance, allowing them to request specific songs or choose from my repertoire.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe my performances as elegant, emotional and engaging, with a high level of musicianship and strong stage presence. They particularly appreciate the ability to create a unique atmosphere and adapt the performance to the style of each event.


Can you perform specific songs requested by the client?

Yes. The repertoire can be agreed in advance, and I can prepare specific songs for weddings and special events. I offer classical music, pop, film music and contemporary arrangements.


What types of events do you perform at?

I perform at weddings, cocktail receptions, private celebrations, corporate events, gala dinners and special occasions. I can provide elegant background music or a more dynamic feature performance.


Do you travel for events?

Yes. I am available for events across Spain and internationally, including Madrid, Marbella, Mallorca, Ibiza, Barcelona, Costa del Sol, Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Lake Como, Lake Geneva and other destinations in Switzerland and across Europe.
