Woodwind Musicians in BesançonRates for violin players in Besançon begin at about €150 for a single short set, with most quotes coming in near €400 and experienced electric acts carrying their own sound equipment reaching €1,050+. Set length drives the figure more than anything else, followed by whether the performance is acoustic or electric and how far the player travels. Learning a specific piece for a processional or first dance usually adds a small fee, and covering a ceremony and an evening reception together costs more than a single set. Ask for a written quote that states set length, arrival time and the rate if the schedule overruns. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

The DooLallys
"I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility."
Vasilii
"Vasilii is an incredibly talented violinist whose skill and professionalism impressed us from the very first note. His virtuoso playing, excellent sense of style, and ability to choose music that matched the atmosphere of the event made our evening truly special.
I would also like to highlight how communicative and attentive he was. Vasilii easily picked up on the guests’ mood and wishes, creating exactly the atmosphere we wanted — sometimes touching and lyrical, sometimes energetic and festive.
We highly recommend Vasilii as a musician who can turn any event into an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your talent and warmth!"
Daniela Barros Violin
