My son's 7th Bday
My son’s 7th bday party! Checked many companies & apps… They want to get pay around 400.00 per hour (violin), they don’t even answer, so expensive, not available n so on. There’s so many parties in SF Also they don’t need to find special violinist for all parties ~ if we can hear music with violin that’s it! He played violin very well also reasonable amount! We want to hear his violin sound again. He’s polite guy! Thanks Ben!

Phenomenal Talent - Heart of Gold!
Kate recently performed in my elderly parents' downtown San Francisco apartment as a surprise 87th birthday party. Kate not only delivered performances of the highest caliber, but her genuine care and concern for the overall performance and how it would add to the birthday celebration was truly appreciated. I would highly recommend this violinist for ANY occasion to which you would like to add extra class and a special human touch.
