About Barbara

Verified profile

My name is Barbara and I am a professional violinist based in Shropshire. If you hear someone humming or singing around the corner: it is probably me. From a young age I was drawn to music. Once I picked up an instrument for the first time, there was no turning back. By high school, the dream of becoming a professional musician crystallised, and years of rehearsals and music lessons later, I am now the professional violinist I wanted to be. Classical training combined with a passion for all varieties of music gives me a wonderful tool to influence people's lives through sound, to inspire; to see people dance and smile. From pop, jazz, R&B to Broadway hits and classical pieces... I can create any kind of mood for your special day. If you are looking for a top musician who will be a pleasure to work with, please get in touch and schedule a meeting to tailor- make your musicial needs.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I can also provide a violin and cello duo.

I always try to be flexible as there are different reasons why the ceremony can possibly be delayed. It is not a problem, as long as you let me know about the changes.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually arrive at least 1 hour before the performance time.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Of course. Those pieces are the favourites ones of all times from different functions and events. However if there is something you would like me to perform and it is not on the list: please let me know and I will do my best to learn it for your occasion.

Of course. I bring my own instrument and PA system.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I will do my best to learn any song that you love and that is not included in my set list.

We decided to book Barbara as the violinist for our wedding after falling in love with her playlist on YouTube. It was clear that she had a lot of experience, and we were impressed by the selection of songs she knew. She did a fantastic job on the day, and our guests have not stopped talking about how good she was. Aside from being a great violinist, she is also a lovely person.

Barbara was amazing, she was perfect for our event and everyone commented on how great she was. We requested a specific song at such short notice and she learnt it perfectly for us. We couldn’t be happier!
