I need a performance space of 2x2 meters. I play with an acoustic violin, without amplification.


What information do you require about a venue?

Is the venue indoors or outdoors?


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No, I generally play on acoustic violin with no amplification.


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

I do not provide a DJ service.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

WCIT Symphony Orchestra in Yerevan Armenia


What's your favourite type of event?

Classical concerts, such as chamber music and orchestra music.


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

I have played at 200+ events, including weddings, proposals, and orchestra concerts.


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

Hilary Hahn, Augustin Hadelich

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Typically, I can set up within 5 minutes. Generally, I play for around 1 hour, but this can vary.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, as long as temperatures are not too cold or too hot, and am I placed out of direct sunlight. I cannot play in rain.


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

Yes, I do take song requests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Beautiful, calming, and setting the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed event.


Can you play outdoors?

I can play outside as long as long as temperatures are above 13°C (55°F). If there is rain, I must have a fully covered area to play in.
Because string instruments are extremely sensitive to moisture, even the slightest amount of rain (with no cover) will prevent me from performing, to avoid damage to my instrument.

In warm weather, please provide a performance space out of direct sunlight.
