A stylish, modern, and innovative take on string music. Quartetto Solo is a unique and exciting concept that is over a decade in the making. A single, experienced, professional violinist performs along with virtuoso virtual musicians to create the sound of a full string group. You hear several musicians, but only pay for one. This creation provides the excitement of a live string band with a violin soloist front man.
Upbeat and modern, or elegantly classical, I am the perfect choice for your event.
What I do is unique. Other violinists simply play over the original song, so you have to hear the singer singing the melody while the violin is just playing the same thing as the singer! When you hire a violinist, the star of the music should be the violin, not some singer of a song you could have just played off of your phone. My band actually arranges and records the music for the songs that I play, so you hear original acoustic instrument versions backing my performance. The result is amazing, and sounds just like my full band is there with me. It is a significantly richer musical experience.
I have led two highly successful string groups in Chicago for almost two decades, The Amadeus Chamber Ensemble, and currently String Theory Chamber Ensemble, Chicago's most popular string ensemble. I have received a Bachelor's degree in music performance from Chicago's prestigious Roosevelt University, and have played with many of Chicagoland's finest orchestras. Quartetto Solo is my latest creation, my solo project. I have performed for over 700 Chicago weddings, it is something I truly love and am very passionate about. Performing for a couple's most special day is magical, and quite an honor.
