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. I have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I led my 12-piece string orchestra in concert at Carnegie Hall with the legendary pianist Richard Clayderman for his “Timeless Romance” concert tour-one of the biggest shows in North America. We would be the most wonderful choice for your occasion. We are virtuosic players who can 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. I’m happy to share with you our playlist of songs in which you may choose from, I can also take a number of requests if the songs of choice are not included in my list. 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, Heuberger, 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.

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 a 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.

 XinOu showed up on time looking sharp. This was an outdoor wedding and it rained so I appreciate him rolling with that. I also appreciate that he learned a few new songs for us. He played beautifully too. I was delighted to be getting such good musical talent for a very reasonable price. 

he was great and the perfect addition to our event 

I booked for a bridal shower and Xinou was very professional, timely, easy going and accommodating (as I DJ some songs and he played some songs).  He played beautifully, had all the tools (sound system), and dressed the part. The guest were super happy and surprised. Makes for great video and photos for any event and makes it extra special and unique. My bride-to-be was super excited when he played one of her favorite Adele songs. I would highly recommend and would use him again.
