Violinist

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I've been playing the violin for 15 years now. I come from Warsaw, Poland where I was classically trained; yet moving to London exposed me to a wide variety of music styles - I feel comfortable playing Musical Theatre, Classical, Pop and improvise!

Karolina's Reviews

5 out of 5

Over the past 2 years I have had the pleasure to work with Karolina both in session and live performance she is always eager to find ways to match my contemporary ideas. Her creativity and flexibility mixed with her talented virtuoso touch allows for the sweetest additions in my music

5 out of 5

I recently had Karolina record on an upcoming record. She was a delight to have part of the string quartet, professional, on time and arrived fully prepared having practiced the sheet music prior. As always, her playing was beautiful and she was responsive to the playing with the rest of the quartet. I couldn’t recommend her enough as a musician, her positive attitude and attention to detail makes working with her a truly great experience

Do you have different line-up options?

My lineup is just acoustic violin. I do own a violin pick-up in case you wanted the sound to be amplified through your sound system!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let me know :)

How much time do you need to set up?

If it's an acoustic set, I will need up to 10 minutes to set up before the performance time.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best for each event, whether it's a concert, wedding ceremony, Christmas party or corporate event. That is to ensure guests have an amazing time and you as clients are satisfied. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for you!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically. That is including the scores, the music stand and anything else that is necessary for your event.

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 or it can be easily learnt. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, let me know as soon as possible and I'll be happy to do this for you.
