Classical soloists cover a wide range of instruments and repertoire, and performers with advanced training and professional concert experience tend to command higher fees.

The classical soloists on Gig Heaven include performers on violin, cello, flute, harp, piano, guitar, clarinet, oboe and many other instruments. It is worth browsing profiles to find a soloist who plays the specific instrument you are looking for.
