Violinist

London

Played since 4 years old both Piano and Violin and had the privilege of leading orchestras, going on tours, working with famous musicians, working as a soloist and as part of an ensemble and touring with an orchestra. I've performed at funerals and weddings alike and am happy to advise on potential programmes or take on programmes. I studied music and was lucky enough to enjoy lessons through GSMD. I am versatile in my dress from dressing formally to dressing up in Queen Charlotte attire for promotional work with Netflix to dressing as a rocker when working with Nick Mason of Pink Floyd during recording sessions at the Roundhouse studios.

5 out of 5

A wonderful performance of Schuberts Ave Maria played on the Violin with a Piano accompaniment, Samantha took it upon herself to set up a rehearsal at the church. The accompanist was impressed with her professionalism and skill as they only had to practice once together and managed to get it right. She also sang a Psalm as part of the service which brought tears to people's eyes. Again she learned the verses of the Psalm and performed it with panache as part of our wedding service. Samantha went above and beyond for us so finding and learning the Psalm on her own and making time for the rehearsal in her busy schedule. On the day of our wedding, she added a beautiful musical treat to the service and added to our special day.

Review of Funeral service. The family was choosing music to play at my Fathers funeral and it was said that Samantha, having played for the HRH Queen Elizabeth II, why not ask her to lead her siblings in a performance? It’s amazing to see how these musicians had grown. How they had developed from music school at concerts and awards and now were going to be playing at my Fathers funeral. The violin piece played to celebrate their Grandfathers life was Pavane Pour Un Enfant Defunte. It was a delight to listen to and a wonderful way for his Grandchildren to make a contribution, playing live I don’t know how they managed to stay composed. Don’t take my word - give her a chance to play
