DESCRIPTION:
Violinist Catherine Boyd began playing at age 5, and started playing weddings professionally at age 14. She studied with Robert Davidovici (Juilliard grad) throughout high school, and was in the Fort Worth Symphony at age 16 before she went to Harvard. She has performed with Kiri te Kanawa, Christopher Parkening, Steve de Groote, Willie Nelson, kd Lang, and with various rock bands on the east coast. One performance at Graceland was in front of 14,000 people! Known for her versatility and the ability to play by ear, she has an encyclopedic music memory and can't be "stumped" (easily!) by requests. She is as comfortable with classical music as with jazz, rock, blues, country, Irish, Italian, American Colonial, and World music (mainly South Indian classical and Hindi film music). Currently studying South Indian violin with Adrian L'Armand (Swarthmore, PA).For any event, you will receive excellent, professional music that serves YOUR taste! Catherine treats every client (especially brides) as she would want to be treated, which includes thorough email and phone consultation. If you have a limited budget, Catherine can perform the ceremony and reception alone. If needed, high-qualtity amplification is available. If you have a theme in mind, it is OK to build something nontradional that your guests will discuss for years to come! Her favorite gigs are solo strolling gigs, taking requests from guests throughout a room. In addition, Catherine has several musical colleagues: guitar, flute, harp, mandolin, piano, vocalists, etc. The usual arrangement is a duo or trio. With sufficient notice, it is possible to arrange a band/orchestra of any size or style (classical, Latin, jazz, rock, country). Thank you for your time and interest!

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Catherine's excitement, enthusiaism, and phenominal talent is a knock-out! Her skill grabbed the attention of not only the guests but the wedding co-ordinator at The Grand Hotel of Cape May. Catherine went above and beyond the call of duty from the first moment to the last to make her portion of our wedding as amazing and easy as possible for us. She loves what she does and it shines through from the second you make contact. She has the ability to go from traditional mode to creative and innovative in a heartbeat and truly listens to your desires and personality to help you to make your dream come true. THANK YOU CATHERINE!
