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.

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!
