About
I have always loved playing the violin and from an early age my dream was to play professionally. It took hours of practice and expert teaching for me to achieve my aims, but it has been a labour of love that I am now able to share in my performances.
Born in Coventry, I started to play violin at school at the age of 8. I went on to study at Coventry School of Music and Birmingham Conservatoire, where I graduated with specialisms in Performing and Orchestration (arranging pieces of music). On graduating, I began a freelance career playing with Local, National and ad Hoc professional orchestras.
Following a successful start to my musical career in Britain, I moved to Paris, where I was appointed Co-Leader of Orchestre International de Paris, and Principal 2nd violin of Les Soloistes de Berry and Orchestre des Arts Florissants.
Since returning to the UK, I have played with a number of London and provincial orchestras, I toured with Scottish Ballet and English National Ballet, and have worked extensively playing in solo, duo and string quartet engagements.
I am a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (MISM).
Thinking about music for your wedding?
Here’s a sample of how your day with me could work:
– Playing discreetly for your guests as they enter the church (or other venue).
– Playing beautiful music for you walking up the aisle.
– Keeping your guests entertained while you sign the register and take photographs.
– Playing a lively piece as you leave the church.
– Moving to the breakfast venue, I could play while you and your guests take photos and enjoy drinks before eating.
Other options are available.
Repertoire and Special Requests
I have an extensive repertoire of more than 500 pieces. This includes Popular Light Classical, Pop, Latin, Rock, Christmas, Easy Listening Standards, Film and Musicals, Disney, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s etc.
I am happy to locate the music for special requests, and learn it quickly, creating arrangements if necessary. I am easily able to play by ear too.
