Overview
I am a cellist who is able to play weddings, funerals, parties, and for any other service you may need. I regularly play weddings and with symphonies in the area. A little bit about me- I have been a winner in the New Jersey Camerata international Solo Competition, and I perform with the Dayton Philharmonic, West Virginia Symphony, Lexington Philharmonic, Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, and Orchestra Kentucky.

Ian was great to work with for my wedding. We wanted cello covers of a lot of modern pop songs and Ian didn't she away from any requests. He was early to the event and took that time to warm up and prepare. Despite questionable weather, Ian was flexible with our changing conditions. Highly recommend.

Ian plays beautifully and seems very passionate about what he does. He was very informative and personable, too: telling us about each piece, answering questions, sharing his experience. Ian is talented, professional, friendly, respectful, and communicative. Thanks again Ian! Will hope to book again.

Ian was very professional and far more musical than most other options. Really made my event pop!

Ian proved to be an incredibly talented and kind-hearted musician. I couldn’t have made a better selection for a musician to perform at my graduation party. He was very easy to communicate with and was such a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely hire him again to perform at one of my events, and I strongly suggest whoever is reading this review to do the same. You would have a very hard time finding a man as talented & charismatic as Ian

Ian is a marvelous cellist. He played for a party I hosted and was kind, respectful, and fun to be around. His command of the instrument was stunning and I was truly moved by his performance. I recommend him for any event that you may have.

Additional Booking Notes
As a cellist, the only things I truly need are light, and a chair with no arms. Set up for me is quite minimal, and easy.
