Adam is a New York based violinist available for private concerts, proposals, weddings, parties, corporate events, recording sessions, church services, and more. He has extensive orchestral, chamber, and teaching experience, and a versatile repertoire suitable for any concert and event programs/themes.
Despite the weather being cold and a little rainy, Adam was still able to play for our wedding ceremony. He was kind, a good communicator and played beautifully.
Adam was so responsive, helpful and just an awesome person to hire for an event like a proposal. You won’t regret hiring him!
Adam made my son's proposal that more beautiful and special. He was there playing his violin as my son escorted my future daughter-in-law to the spot he wanted to propose. He played the chosen songs beautifully and even added another one as they took pictures. I always loved the beauty of the violin and Adam solidified that. Thank you, Adam, for your beautiful talent. Additionally, I want to add that Adam was so kind and humble. Thank you again Adam!
Adam played at my friend’s engagement in DUMBO, Brooklyn and not only did he do a wonderful job, but he was also punctual, professional, friendly, and accommodating. He made the engagement really special by playing songs requested by the groom to be, and we’re so happy with how the day turned out. I would highly recommend hiring Adam!
