Violinist

Northolt

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I began learning violin at the age of 5, piano at the age of 7 and saxophone when I was 9. I studied at Junior Trinity Laban for 8 years from the age of 10 and participated in a range of groups such as quartets, jazz groups, big bands, classical orchestras and wind orchestras, as well as performing solo at concerts. I recently graduated from London College of Music studying BMus Performance, where I specialised in Violin and Saxophone performance. I thoroughly enjoy working in groups as well as working as a solo performer. So far the highlights of my career have been recording numerous times at Abbey Road studios, performing alongside NYO and Nicola Benedetti, and performing nationwide and across Europe. On violin, I have been known for conveying a very warm and passionate sound and on saxophone, my playing has been likened to Marshall Royal's with my use of a shimmery "french-style" of vibrato, which I picked up when I was learning classical Saxophone. Across recent years, my saxophone playing has extended itself to also performing on a tenor saxophone and baritone saxophone.

5 out of 5

Natalia played both violin and saxophone at our wedding last year, we had so many compliments from guests that it was a really lovely touch to add to the day. Natalia was very attentive to our wants and wishes and went above and beyond to make our day just what we wanted it to be. We have recommended Natalia to both friends and family since and will continue to do so. Thanks again for all of your hard work and making our day so special :)

Natalia played the saxaphone for my husband’s 40th birthday party in July. She was so easy to work with from the get go. She was very happy to play any song we chose and was also able to advise me on what would be appropriate for the evening. She arrived promptly and played well throughout the whole evening. All the guests were very impressed. We would use Natalia again for any event we host.

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, I can play Violin, Alto Saxophone and Tenor Saxophone. I do also offer the option of more than 1 instrument in a set. Please refer to my Price Guides > Add ons, for more details.

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

I also try my best to be as flexible as possible, to ensure the event runs smoothly for you! If the timings change, please make sure you give me plenty of notice before the event to ensure the changes don't clash with anything else.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually need approximately 1 hour for set up, just to get comfortable with the environment and adjust the sound settings. Furthermore, if you have a playlist which you would like to be played before my performance, or in between sets (if I'm doing more than one set), please let me know and I can set that up to run through my PA.

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

Of course you can. My song list is a list of songs I have previously performed at events. Each event is different, so the important thing is that each song reflects the theme of the event the way you require.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes of course! However as mentioned in my Performance Info, I only have a small PA, so if you are looking to fill a big room of more than 50 people, it might be worth discussing with the venue if they have access to a bigger PA.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course! Each event is different, and it's important that the music reflects the theme of your event. There is also a likely chance that I know the song requested, but just haven't performed it before. Just ensure that you give me plenty of notice so that I can prepare and make sure that I give my best efforts to make your event as special as possible.
