About Cristinel

Freelance violin and viola player as well as leader for orchestras, Bacanu Quartet. Performed as a Violinist in Good Morning Britain
Violinist
West Midlands
Public liability insurance of £10 million
Verified profile

My name is Cristinel Bacanu and I am a British Romanian violin and viola performer. I have attended Bucharest Conservatory, Ohio University and Arizona State University where I have graduated with all honours and rights. I have lived , naturalised and worked in England since 2009 both as a professional violinist/violist and instrumental teacher. I lead Bacanu Quartet in all types of performances as well as being regularly engaged as leader for orchestras. All my clients so far really loved working with me. I am highly trained and I make music with passion be it in a concert hall or a wedding . My utub channel Bacanu Music features demos of more than 500 different songs from actual events where i was booked. Due to the bandwidth of this internet platform one can only see some of the demos. For demos purposes only I suggest potential clients follow my actual channel. Thanks for reading.

Simply excellent. Cristinel was a real highlight to our wedding, our guests were so impressed by his talent and what a nice touch it added to the day. Aside from his incredible talent on the violin, we quickly discovered Cristinel was the most wonderful person too. He was so kind, polite, professional and a delight to speak with. My husband mentioned when he arrived to decorate the church, Cristinel also helped to decorate, and entertain our 1 year old son. He really went above and beyond and we couldn't recommend Cristinel enough. Thank you so much for making our special day that extra touch more special!

Cris provided the music for the drinks and canapes for our daughter's wedding. He is a truly amazing musician with a wide musical repertoire. We and our guests were absolutely delighted with his brilliant performance and we all loved his charming and warm personality. We let him know some of the music the bride and groom wanted him to play at short notice and he was so accommodating. Cris was also happy to play requests which our guests thoroughly enjoyed. We had such a magical day and Cris made our day even more magical.
