Dear clients, greetings to you! It is with great pleasure to meet you on this platform. This is XinOu Wei, a violinist based in New York. As a violinist, I have played in all prominent New York concert halls-as well as in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, London, Lucerne (with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle), and have worked with the greatest conductors on earth, such as Sir Simon Rattle, and Riccardo Chailly. I have performed in  private recital for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine, as well as leading at America-Israel Cultural Foundation's 75th Anniversary Gala Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York, hosted by Itzhak Perlman. As a recitalist and chamber musician, I have performed with some of the foremost musicians of our day, such as James Ehnes and David Aaron Carpenter at Carnegie Hall. 

I have made my home in New York since 2011, and since then have led numerous orchestras as concertmaster, those include Camerata New York, Garden State Philharmonic, Long Island Opera, Loft Opera, Central Park Symphony, Adelphi Orchestra, Glen Rock Pop, Livingston Symphony Orchestra TriCities Opera, Syracuse Opera, and most recently-New Jersey Festival Orchestra. Presently, I perform with my "Quartet Alt-Wien” regularly for major events, weddings, and house concerts in New York, at venues such as Cipriani, Capitale, and Ziegfeld Ballroom. We have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I have contracted the musical entertainment for, and led the ensemble in performance at American Red Cross’ Gala at Ziegfeld Ballroom at the presence of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Quartet Alt Wien would be a wonderful choice for your occasion. We are four virtuosic players that are able to play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level-be it pop or classical. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio quintet, string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. We certainly are happy and willing to accommodate your musical requests for any particular songs you love. Though Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. I grew up having them in my ears and it is always a highlight for me when asked to present a evening of Viennese music-waltzes, Polkas, Marches, and Operetta excerpts of Lanner, Strauss, Lehar, Ziehrer Schrammel, and Hellmesberger. Many of these works were originally intended, and realized by small ensembles such as a quartet or quintet in Hotels, Cafes, balls, and soirées in Vienna. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.

Review by Mario P. on June 2023
Simply amazing! It was the perfect touch to my engagement. Thank you so much!

Review by Suzanne R. on January 2023
XinOu Wei...What a fantastic musician. Asked to perform out of his "comfort zone" (songs not traditionally performed by a violinist) but certainly doable by this trained musician ...and the evening was a Home Run. Having such a young, energetic performer was just perfect for our event. A professional who loves what he does...and it shows. A young person with such a great personality is really hard to find these days and he's just an all around great guy!!

Review by Chris M. on November 2022
XinOu was amazingly talented and very professional. He graciously asked all the right questions to make our wedding experience unforgettable. He played the complicated compositions we requested with ease. His music was beautiful. I would gladly hire him again and most likely will for future events. :)

Review by Aalam Singh N. on August 2022
Mr. XinOu Wei is an exceptionally talented violinist. It's easy to work with him because he's so pleasant, competent, and flexible. He is also a talented artist who is familiar with virtually every classic love song ever written. The rain forced me to adjust the event schedule, but Mr. XinOu Wei was flexible and helped make the event a success. If you're looking for top-notch violin music for your event, look no further than Mr. XinOu Wei.

Review by Alfredo M. on May 2022
XinOu was excellent. His performance was stellar and his selection was very appropriate. I would hire him again.

XinOu was absolutely amazing and made the whole occasion special. All the guests loved him and his amazing music. We will forever remember this special wedding day with Xinou!

XinOu Wei was simply AMAZING!  He is not only a highly skilled violinist, he is one of the kindest individuals I have ever worked with!  He provided musical entertainment to my guests with utmost class, grace, and elegance!  He was punctual and even provided my guests with some extra play time - at his own will.  XinOu also took requests from the crowd, dressed properly for the event, was extremely attentive, and very easy to work with.  He is quite the gem! I highly recommend him!  ~Effie 

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Wei play for my wedding and he simply elevated the entire ceremony with his tunes. He is a delight to work with and is extremely accommodating. I highly recommend him if you want a seamless, curated experience.

Xinou was great!! Definitely the one to recommend!!
