Fees and Rates for 2026-2027
The following services are for solo electric 5 string violin with backtrack accompaniment. I provide my own wireless speaker and all necessary equipment, and arrive on-site approximately one hour before the scheduled performance time. There is no extra charge for cartage or set up and tear down. ALL EVENTS ARE PREPAID, and for weddings there is a an agreement and retainer fee with the balance of the fee due 8 weeks before the scheduled performance date.
Note: When performing for any event, I need space enough to perform comfortably and to be in a space where your guests are not within about 6 feet of my speaker system.
As a note: my electric 5 string violin was custom made for me and is of rare design. No one, including children, should ever be touching or "trying" my instrument or the speaker system/setup. It is set to certain parameters with the electronics that are pleasing and appropriate for the situations.
