Seth Gangwer

Can Seth perform for my outdoor event?
Yes. Seth regularly performs for outdoor events. However, because he and the musicians he works with perform on extremely expensive and delicate instruments, the instruments must be protected from weather conditions and temperature extremes.

How can I compare how Seth performs to other musicians I am considering for my event?
If you are considering several options for live music for your event it is highly recommended that you compare their media samples, biographical information, and speak directly about any questions you may have. (contact for more information)

What makes Seth different from other options I see online for live music?
Seth is not a contractor, unlike most other options you might find online. When you book musicians through a DJ company or a typical musician contracting company, the client (you) will generally pay more and the musicians will be paid less (and be of lesser quality) to make up for the overhead. When Seth assembles a string duo, trio, or quartet for your event , the fee for the event is divided equally between every musician in the group. This guarantees Seth can provide the best musicians to perform with him for your event because they can trust him to pay them a fair and equal amount.

Seth is considered one of the most versatile and accomplished violinists in the greater-Carolinas region and beyond. He began his performance career at an early age, from soloing with symphonies to bluegrass benefits for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Throughout the years, he has performed internationally in the classical, jazz, rock, pop, broadway, country, christian, and gospel genres, just to name a few. Seth accelerated his recording career upon moving to Nashville, where he received his Master of Music in Violin Performance from Belmont University. Located across the street from the world famous Music Row, home to some of the most well-known studios and music industry titans, Seth would regularly be called upon to record for everything from country and rock albums, to video game and movie sound tracks, independent projects, network television, sound effect libraries and more.

Seth has performed at some of the most prestigious concert halls all over the world, and has been showcased as a soloist on public radio and national television. Seth takes great pride in always providing the highest standard of music performance, whether it's for a wedding ceremony or reception, soloing with a symphony in a concert hall, or studio recordings heard across the globe.

What musicians does Seth work with if I want a duo, trio, or string quartet?
Seth only asks trusted colleagues that he works with on a regular basis. Like Seth, they will be "full-time" professional musicians, meaning performing music is their only job and not just a hobby or a way to make a little extra money.

How do I reserve Seth for my event?
Your day and time will be reserved as soon as Seth receives a signed contract from you in the mail, email, or in person.

What would the fee be for my event?
All rates are individually determined and might vary due to the distance to the location and type of event, the duration of the event, and the number of musicians wanted to perform for the event.

What is your usual attire?
Tuxedo, Dark Suit, or Concert Black

Do you offer live sample performances or CDs?
