What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Do you have different line-up options?
I am part of oboe and string quartets and duets, just ask what you'd prefer or a pairing you'd like to enjoy!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Let me know ASAP :)
If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event it's not to worry.
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually I need 10 minutes if without a sound system to tune my instrument and test out the acoustics of the environment. I like a rehearsal if possible before the event.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course! I am happy to chat through and find what works for your event.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes!
I will bring a music stand and additional outdoor equipment.
If outdoors, I will need protection for my violin.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn we are happy to do this for you for a small additional cost.
