🎻 Are you looking for a violinist for your event?
If you would like your event to be more than just background music,
and instead create an elegant, subtle, and memorable atmosphere,
live violin performance is a natural and refined choice.
I offer live musical performances designed to blend seamlessly with the space and the moment.
The music never overpowers — it accompanies, highlights, and adds
the right emotional tone
to weddings, brand events, and private receptions.
✨ What you can expect on site
A musical presence that is gentle yet noticeable,
a warm and nuanced sound,
an atmosphere that calms, elevates, and makes each moment more meaningful.
🎼 Adaptable repertoire
Classical, pop, and film music,
with selections tailored to the flow and mood of your event —
ceremonial, romantic,
or simply a discreet and elegant musical presence.
🎻 Sound quality
I perform on a professional luthier-crafted violin,
with a high-quality sound system,
ensuring a clear, balanced, and pleasant sound
in all types of spaces.
🎓 A graduate of the École Normale de Musique de Paris,
trained under a master violinist from the Russian school,
I place my stage experience
at the service of the atmosphere and emotion of each event.

I only require a clean performance space. For acoustics violin, no technical setup is needed. If backing tracks are used, I need some power outlet and a line input to connect my playback device (laptop or IPad).
Clear information about performance area and access to electricity (if backing tracks are required). I would also appreciate details on whether the venue provides a sound system or if I should bring my own.
I bring my own violin, microphone, and playback device. I do not provide full PA or lighting system, but I can connect to the venue’s existing sound system if available.
No, I only perform live violin sets.
One of the most memorable performances was at a wedding held in a castle. The historic setting, with its elegant interiors and timeless atmosphere, made the violin sound especially magical. It was a truly unforgettable moment for the couple, their guests, and for me as a musician.
Weddings are my favourite, as the violin can bring a romantic and emotional touch to such a special day. I also enjoy performing at intimate dinners and receptions, where live music creates a unique and elegant atmosphere.
I started playing the violin at a young age and trained professionally, later studying at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. Over the past 15 years, I have performed at weddings, private events, corporate functions, and formal concerts, bringing both classical and contemporary music to a wide range of audiences.
I have been deeply influenced by classical violinists such as Itzhak Perlman and Anne-Sophie Mutter, who inspire me with their virtuosity and emotion. At the same time, I enjoy drawing from film and contemporary music, as these pieces often resonate strongly with audiences. For me, timeless works like Schumann Träumerei always move listeners and remain among the greatest pieces to perform
I normally arrive around 1 hour before the performance for a quick setup and sound check. But I can adapt depending on the event’s needs.
Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors as long as there is adequate shade and protection for the instrument, and a safe, flat surface to perform on. Access to power is only required if backing tracks are needed.
Clients are welcome to choose from my repertoire, and I am happy to prepare a few special requests in advance. Otherwise, I can create a set list tailored to the atmosphere of the event.
Clients often describe my performances as elegant, emotional, and adding a refined touch to their events. They appreciate both the versatility of my repertoire and the atmosphere the violin creates.
