Where are you looking to hire a violinist?
The violin is a string instrument which can be traced back to the 9th century. Classical violinists make up key parts of both the string quartet and the symphony orchestra. Some of the great classical violinists of the last century include Jascha Heifetz, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac stern, and Itzak Perlman. A violin is not to be confused with its larger sibling, the viola which looks quite similar but has a deeper sound. The violin is most often hired to play either as a soloist, or as a member of a duo, trio, or string quartet. Violinists are often accompanied by a piano. Events where you might hear violin music are a wedding ceremony, a dinner party, a church service, or an art gallery opening. In an elegant restaurant, you may find strolling violinists performing from table to table. While violin music is most often associated with classical music, it can play other types as well. For instance, when a violin is used to play bluegrass music, it is referred to as a fiddle.
Jazz violinists have also gained popularity in recent years, and you will even see an electric violin featured in some rock bands. So hire a violinist for your wedding or special event!
