Violinist

Dublin

I'm a classically trained violinist from Dublin. I've played the violin since I was six and now study Music at University. I have performed at many weddings, concerts, gigs and have also received prizes in competitions for my playing. I specialise in classical music but am able to perform in all music genres (classical/pop/trad etc.). I completed my grade 8 music exam with distinction and received a score of 100% in my Leaving Cert Practical exam. I am a member of Trinity Orchestra and I am an experienced performer so I am very familiar with playing at gigs. My passion for the violin is always evident in my music.

Customer questions

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

I am very flexible so just let me know as soon as possible.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically would arrive to a bigger gig an hour before the start time to set up and warm up.

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

Absolutely, the set list is more of a list of some popular pieces to choose from but I can play anything that you would like even if it’s not on the set list. I can also send you a video of me playing a particular piece if you want to hear how it would sound.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring my own violin to play acoustically. The only equipment that the guest would need to provide is a microphone / speaker if they felt like they wanted it.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can learn any piece that the guest would like and I am also open to taking requests on the day.
