Overview
Greetings to you dear clients! We are a NYC based string ensemble, and we would be a wonderful choice for your occasion: we are four virtuosic players that are able to play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level-be it pop or classical. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio, quintet, and string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. We are happy and willing to accommodate your musical requests for any particular songs you love. Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.

Thank you for the heartwarming words dear Artur, really means the world to me! And thank you for bringing back many fond recollection of that day!
My very best festive wishes to you and family,

The violinist performed alongside a rapper and was able to "harmonize" with him.
Large repertoire of songs that were very beautifully played.
It was an exceptional experience to have Alt-Wien play for us and it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime.

Thanks so much Howard! It was my great pleasure and happy that it all worked out in the end miraculously!
XinOu was amazingly talented and very professional. He graciously asked all the right questions to make our wedding experience unforgettable. He played the complicated compositions we requested with ease. His music was beautiful. I would gladly hire him again and most likely will for future events. :)

Thanks so very much dear Chris! Hope you had a nice and memorable anniversary/thanksgiving. My very best to you both! :)
XinOu Wei...What a fantastic musician. Asked to perform out of his "comfort zone" (songs not traditionally performed by a classically trained violinist) but certainly doable by this trained musician ...and the evening was a Home Run. Having such a young, energetic performer was just perfect for our event. A professional who loves what he does...and it shows. A young person with such a great personality is really hard to find these days and he's just an all around great guy!!

Thanks so much once again dear Suzanne :) I was just listening to the recording from that day and overjoyed with many fond recollections. Wishing you an early merry christmas, and hope we have a special new year's eve that is no less than the last! Sending you and Nick my very best,
Xinou
I had prepared a surprise Dinner for our 20th Anniversary on the Beach. He worked with me to walk up to us on the beach and surprise my wife. All played out great and he played for the allotted time and even worked with me to continue longer than what was first set up. We were enjoying our wine and then he followed behind us and escorted us back to our house while playing the Violin. It was great and the Neighbors loved it as well. Thank you very much again for this special memory.

I had the pleasure of hiring Xinou for my 9th Wedding Anniversary where I surprised my wife (and the other restaurant attendees) with a surprise solo performance of our Official Wedding Song. Xinou was perfect, on time and professional. Needless to say that day easily and instantly became one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Absolutely satisfied with the services and will recommend Xinou to anyone looking.

Dear Mike, thanks so much for the review, pardon I only learnt how to respond to a review today. I thank you for your generous help and words and I send you and family my very best festive wishes :)
All best,
Xinou
Xinou is friendly, punctual, and a thoroughly practiced, yet emotive violin player. Would absolutely hire him again in a heartbeat as he is easy to work with and needed very few takes in our recording session. Seasoned with great ability and also charming and musical.

Dear Nick, thanks so much for your very kind words! Hope you are having a fantastic end of the year time, and really cannot wait to run into you anywhere in the city :)
We had our wedding vow renewal ceremony about a month ago and wanted something soulful to be there during. We flew XinOu and his Quartet from New York where they live to Florida, let me just say-it was worth every penny!!! His choice of music is so romantic and suiting. My guests are still talking about it to this day. Thank you XinOu&Quartet Alt Wien for your incredible gift to us!!

About
Quartet Alt Wien-New York City based string ensemble
Dear clients, greetings to you! It is with great pleasure for us to find this new platform and to meet you here. This is XinOu Wei, a violinist based in New York. As a violinist, I have played in all prominent New York concert halls-as well as in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, London, Lucerne (with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle), and have worked with the greatest conductors on earth, such as Sir Simon Rattle, and Riccardo Chailly. I have performed in a private recital for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine, as well as leading at America-Israel Cultural Foundation's 75th Anniversary Gala Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York, hosted by Itzhak Perlman. As a recitalist and chamber musician, I have performed with some of the foremost musicians of our day, such as James Ehnes and David Aaron Carpenter at Carnegie Hall.
I have made my home in New York since 2011, and since then have led numerous orchestras as concertmaster, those include Camerata New York, Garden State Philharmonic, Long Island Opera, Loft Opera, Central Park Symphony, Adelphi Orchestra, Glen Rock Pop, Livingston Symphony Orchestra TriCities Opera, Syracuse Opera, and most recently-New Jersey Festival Orchestra. Presently, I perform regularly-leading my string ensemble "Quartet Alt-Wien” for major events, weddings, and house concerts in New York, at venues such as Cipriani, Capitale, and Ziegfeld Ballroom. We have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I have contracted the musical entertainment for, and led the ensemble in performance at American Red Cross’ Gala at Ziegfeld Ballroom at the presence of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Quartet Alt Wien would be a wonderful choice for your occasion. We are four virtuosic players that are able to play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio quintet, and string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. We certainly are happy and willing to accommodate your musical requests for any particular songs you love. Though Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. I grew up having them in my ears and it is always a highlight for me when asked to present a evening of Viennese music-waltzes, Polkas, Marches, and Operetta excerpts of Lanner, Strauss, Lehar, Ziehrer Schrammel, and Hellmesberger. Many of these works were originally intended, and realized by small ensembles such as a quartet or quintet in Hotels, Cafes, balls, and soirées in Vienna. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.
