About Filipa

Experienced Violinist/ Female Singer
Violinist
London

Music is my soul's native tongue, and performing is my way of conversing with the world. I have always believed that music has a unique ability to convey emotions and stories that transcend the limitations of spoken language. It possesses the power to heal, inspire, and connect people on a profound level. It was this belief that led me to embrace both the violin and singing as my mediums of expression. As a violinist, I am drawn to the instrument's rich history and timeless beauty. The violin has the capacity to sing, weep, and dance, all within the span of a single composition. Its strings resonate with the echoes of centuries of musical masterpieces, and when I play, I aim to channel that heritage into my performance. Singing, on the other hand, allows me to communicate with an immediacy that is unparalleled. The human voice is a vessel for raw emotion, and through it, I can convey the deepest passions and sentiments of the human experience. Combining the violin and singing allows me to create a musical experience that is both emotionally evocative and technically intricate, offering my audience a multifaceted connection to the music. How I Became Qualified as a Musician: My journey into the world of music began at a young age, when I first laid my hands on the violin and discovered the enchanting power of this instrument. I embarked on a rigorous path of self-discovery and honed my skills through countless hours of practice, determination, and perseverance. I pursued formal training in both the violin and vocal performance, earning degrees from esteemed institutions that provided me with a solid foundation in music theory, technique, and interpretation. Under the guidance of accomplished mentors, I refined my artistry and developed a deep understanding of the nuances of both instruments. This comprehensive training has enabled me to seamlessly weave the violin and singing into a single, captivating performance. Enchanting Moments at Weddings and Special Events: Beyond the concert hall, I have had the privilege of creating unforgettable memories at weddings and special events. The ability to customize my repertoire to suit the unique tastes and desires of each couple has allowed me to create deeply personal and meaningful musical experiences. Whether it's a classical piece that accompanies the bride down the aisle or a heartfelt ballad during the vows, I understand the importance of music in creating an atmosphere that resonates with the couple and their loved ones. In addition to weddings, I have performed in various special events. From corporate galas to anniversary celebrations, my act has the versatility to adapt to a wide range of occasions, making every event an extraordinary experience. My act is a reflection of my profound passion for music and my commitment to sharing its beauty and depth with the world, one harmonious note at a time.

'' I can't express enough how much their performance added to the magic of our special day. The choice to include live violin music in our wedding celebration was one of the best decisions we made, and here's a brief review of our experience. From the moment the violinist began to play as I walked down the aisle, I felt a rush of emotion. The beautiful rendition of "Canon in D" set the perfect tone for the ceremony. The music created an ambiance of elegance and romance that we had dreamed of for our wedding day. It was a truly enchanting moment that made our hearts swell with happiness. During the ceremony, the violinist seamlessly transitioned between different pieces of music, each one complementing the various stages of our wedding vows and ring exchange. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri, in particular, tugged at our heartstrings and made our promises to each other even more meaningful. After the ceremony, as we mingled with our guests at the reception, the violinist continued to impress. The song choices were a delightful mix of classic and contemporary tunes that catered to a diverse audience. Our personal favorite was the rendition of "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran, which felt like it was written just for us. The most memorable part of the evening was when the violinist played a customized version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley. This was a surprise arranged by our close friends, and it left us in tears of joy. It was an intimate and heartfelt moment that we will cherish forever. Overall, having a violinist at our wedding added an exquisite layer of sophistication and emotion to our celebration. The music created an atmosphere of love and unity that resonated with all our guests. We were beyond impressed with the talent, professionalism, and passion of our violinist, and we couldn't have asked for a better musical experience on our special day. The melodies provided the soundtrack to our love story, and for that, we are forever grateful.''

As someone who recently hosted a birthday party with a violinist, I want to share how their performance elevated our celebration. The moment they began playing, the ambiance transformed into something truly magical. Their rendition of "Happy Birthday" added a personal touch that made the birthday person feel special. Throughout the evening, the violinist's versatility shone through as they seamlessly transitioned from classical to contemporary music. They even played a sentimental piece that moved everyone. When the time was right, their upbeat tunes got everyone dancing. This birthday party proved that live music can turn an event into an unforgettable experience. The violinist's talent and passion made our celebration extraordinary. I highly recommend considering a violinist to add elegance and magic to your special occasion. It's an unforgettable touch that will create lasting memories.
