A guide to booking

Hire Classical Soloists

Classical soloists bring sophistication and elegance to any event through their mastery of traditional instruments and vocal techniques. These accomplished musicians perform as individual artists, showcasing their skills on instruments such as violin, cello, harp, piano, or through classical vocal performance. Each soloist musician offers a unique repertoire that can range from baroque masterpieces to contemporary classical arrangements.

Why Choose a Classical Solo Performer

Solo classical musicians provide intimate, refined entertainment that creates the right atmosphere without overwhelming conversation or event proceedings. Their versatility allows them to perform during different segments of your event, whether you need gentle background music during a reception or a featured performance piece. Many classical soloists work alongside accompanists for larger repertoires, while others collaborate with chamber orchestras for special occasions. Some may also complement other musicians like cellists or brass musicians to create ensemble performances when required.

Ideal Occasions for Classical Soloists

These performers excel at weddings, where they can provide ceremony music, cocktail hour entertainment, or dinner accompaniment. Corporate events benefit from their professional presence during networking sessions, award ceremonies, and formal dinners. Classical singers for hire are particularly sought after for proposal dinners, anniversary celebrations, and intimate gatherings where their vocal artistry can create truly memorable moments. Many local classical musicians also perform at gallery openings, charity galas, and private parties where sophisticated musical entertainment is desired.

He made our day extra special!" Based in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada 1st August 2026 Janette - Private Wedding Photo of Nell Violinist Nell Violinist "We hired Helen for our event, and she was absolutely amazing! All of our guests loved her performance and gave us wonderful feedback throughout the entire day. She was an absolute hit, and booking her was worth every single penny. I highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for fantastic live music for their special occasion!" Based in Matlock, England, United Kingdom 26th August 2026 Pratiksha Photo of Alex Choi Violín Alex Choi Violín "Hi Alex! The last guests just left! A million thanks for your performance last night. I fulfilled a dream and all my friends were amazed by your music. I hope we can enjoy art again. A big hug 😘✨" Translated from Spanish Based in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain 31st August 2026 Cristina - CumpleaƱos Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Dear Pete Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day. My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day. For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one! Thanks again, Pete. Kate Read less" Based in Manchester, England, United Kingdom 18th September 2026 Kate - Private wedding Photo of Anastasia Violin Performer Anastasia Violin Performer "Anastasia on the violin, Valeria on the saxophone, and Andrea with her incredible voice – three exceptionally talented women, each of them highly professional and completely devoted to their music. They don’t simply perform – they bring their passion to life. You can see it, hear it and, most importantly, feel it. ❤️ Beyond their extraordinary musical talent, they are three incredibly warm, loving and attentive women with truly beautiful souls. Professional in every possible way, always thinking ahead, flexible, spontaneous and able to react perfectly to every little moment. All three accompanied our wedding on September 12th, 2026, and helped turn it into a true celebration of life, love and lightness. Their music created an atmosphere that is almost impossible to put into words and gave us moments we will remember for the rest of our lives. Our communication was mainly with Anastasia, and from the very beginning, she immediately understood our vision and, even more importantly, the feeling we wanted to create on that day. With her many years of experience, she contributed her own ideas and thoughtful suggestions, refined our plans and helped make everything feel absolutely perfect. A special thank you also goes to Matteo, who was responsible for the technical side and the sound. He was just as professional, attentive and talented – he worked his magic behind the scenes and made sure everything sounded flawless. What makes this team so special is the way they work together. It feels completely natural and effortless – almost symbiotic. Every single person brings their own talent, personality and passion, and together they create something truly magical. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Anastasia, Valeria, Andrea and Matteo. Thank you for your music, your passion, your warmth, your professionalism and your beautiful energy. You didn’t just accompany our wedding – you became part of it and helped make it one of the most beautiful days of our lives. An incredible, harmonious team full of talent and heart. We could not recommend you more highly. ❤️ With all our love and gratitude, Anja & Giuseppe" Based in Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy 28th September 2026 Anja & Giuseppe - Wedding 12/9/26 Grottammare Photo of Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar Claudia Dorado - Classic Guitar "Claudia was amazing. She is an extraordinarily talented guitarist, playing classical guitar. She was also a pleasure to deal with, communicative, reliable, friendly and amenable. She played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring as I walked down the aisle and it was glorious. She agreed to learn a few songs we liked to add some Spanish guitar versions of pop songs for the reception (eg Love of My Life - by Queen), and they were beautiful. We would highly recommend her." Based in Catalonia, Spain 6th October 2026 Claire - Private wedding
