Arsen Ketikyan  Violinist from Little Neck, NY

My name is Arsen Ketikyan. I am a professionally trained classical violinist, private instructor, performer. Playing some light music for cocktail hours on my acoustic violin ,with my violin pickup and backing tracks, connected to sound system /because some people ask for electric violin, that's why I am writing this in detail, that's the same thing, which means that the instrument is amplified, and even sound is much nicer Here is some information about me: Education-Komitas State Conservatory/Masters/Diploma with Honour in field of violin performance/2003-2008, Tchaikovsky Music School-certificate of a qualification as a violin teacher/tutor 2000-2003 Saryan Art School-1994-2000 Professional Work experience -2013-2018 concertmaster,associate concertmaster for shen Yun Performing arts 2011 2013- member of Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra 2007-2013 founder member of State Youth orchestra of Armenia 2011 -2013- Golden Tulip Yerevan Hotel -musician/violinist have played during lots of cocktail hours for different countries Presidents and during many important governmental cocktail hours and as well during visit of Prince Charles to Armenia , So I play light music more near to classic stile as I don't play exactly jazz or exactly all classic pieces but ,cocktail hour music, where there are something from classic music, something from movie something other. Also, one of important things is: please note that most common time for cocktail hour music playing is from 30 minutes to 45 minutes and plus to that the traveling expenses and so on. That's why the price is that much as much I did mention The most important part : I am playing what I am playing,and don't accept orders for any specific kind of music,and appreciate your understanding for that.
