About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
I am an acoustic (sitting down) and electric (standing up) cellist. I often perform at weddings and private parties. The style of the music is diverse: from standard classical solo cello music or arrangements of popular classical pieces, to party-like electric cello improvisation accompanied by backing tracked beats and effects. I have performed at over 500 weddings for the past 15 years, some of which were a very high profile, such as the wedding for the Queen of Qatar, (U.A.E). I also provide services at fashion shows, special private events (all over the US and multiple at the islands of Greece), as well as perform at Congress Meetings and other home-held parties and gatherings. My style is quite diverse: from traditional Classical pieces to Pop and R&B standards. Very often, I arrange or I transcribe songs requested by a future brides for their special day! I have performed on TV shows such as: 55th Grammy Awards Show; The Late Show with David Letterman and the Jingle Ball event with Kanye West; BET Awards with P.Diddy, 2010; Latin Grammy Awards, Las Vegas, Nov. 2011; American Idol featuring Lana Del Rey, March 2012; Gstaad (Switzerland), performance with Lang Lang, Feb. 2012; Clint Holmes Show, Las Vegas, May 2012; Latin Grammys/Person of the Year - Caetano Veloso, Natalie Cole, Nelly Furtado, Las Vegas, November 2012; SoulTrain Awards, John Legend, Las Vegas, November 2012; Celine Dion Shows, Las Vegas, December 2012-March, 2013, Grammy Awards for carrie Underwood, 2013. Also, I have performed at political conferences for Bill Clinton and Mitt Romney. Up to the fall of 2005, I was a teaching assistant for Rhonda Rider at Wellesley College. Presently, I am a cello faculty at Santa Monica Academy of Music.
