I am a classically trained violinist with a lot of cross-genre experience. I can play by ear, sightread, and do some light improvisation. I can accommodate most music requests, and I do my best to work with each client in finding the ideal setlist. Depending on the needs of the event, I can perform on either electric or acoustic violin.

Hannah was the violinist for our wedding ceremony and she was stellar. Everyone is still raving about how beautiful the music was and how graceful the transitions were. We had a few special requests and she knocked it out of the park with everyone. Truly thankful we found her on Wedding Wire.
Hannah is delightful and a wonderfully talented musician. We left song choices to her and she played beautifully at our wedding! I couldn’t be happier with Hannah’s performance, I highly recommend her.
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
Thank you so much! Huge congratulations to you both!
Hannah was promptly, and had a wonderful rep for our guests! She was great at navigating our requests to play outside with our equipment! She’s the best! Book her!
She did such an amazing job at our proposal! Could not recommend more - incredibly responsive and timely as well!
Hannah was great to work with. Communication was great from start to the end and her performance was outstanding.
Hannah was friendly and professional and played a beautiful violin rendition of Love Story by Taylor Swift to make for the perfect proposal. After the proposal, Hannah played an excellent rendition of Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley.
She is an amazing person. I had some inconvenience with my event, Hannah and the Guitarist ( I forgot his name) were very patient and helpful. They played some beautiful Melody. They will be my go to musicians for future events.
Hannah performed at our wedding and did an amazing job. Highly recommend for any event!
Hannah was very professional and her music was perfect!

Hannah did an amazing job at our wedding! Our guests kept mentioning the lovely job she did! She exceeded all our expectations. She played during our welcome reception, the ceremony, and a part of our cocktail hour. Thanks, Hannah! You were a wonderful addition to our special day!!
Hannah played violin during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we can’t say enough good things about our experience. From choosing songs to the actual day-of, Hannah was communicative, professional, and helpful. Her actual playing was beautiful and we and our guests loved it. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
Hannah was so easy to interact with from the start. She played a beautiful playing of our choice in the Ladies Pavillion at Central Park for our wedding. She made it so special, an I would have no problem recommending her.
Hannah was great. She was able to accommodate my needs for a playlist we’d both agree on, and played great! would definitely work with her again in the future 100% recommend.
Me now wife and I, eloped in Central Park at Bethesda fountain. We had never been there, as we are from Texas. She was SO accommodating and helpful through the weeks communicating and getting a song lists together. Even informing of us permits we had no idea we needed. She was a life saver and her music was AMAZING! Sounded so good and became a key piece of our wedding. It was perfect. Could not recommend her more!!
I hired Hannah for my wedding ceremony/cocktail hour and she was truly amazing! Very professional, beyond talented, and easy going. Would hire again in a heart beat!
Hannah was very accomodating in helping me to plan a very special and complex surprise engagement proposal. She played beautifully, and made the moment all the more wonderful, without being in any way invasive. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

I definitely look forward to booking her again for future projects.

Hannah was essential to making my wedding day so magical! I was lucky enough to find her on gig salad and she sent me the most reasonable quote. Hannah is not only exceptionally talented but she is also extremely professional. She arrived early for set up and started and finished her set exactly as planned. She was super easy to communicate with and always very responsive. She was also flexible and gracious with me, even when I made a slight change to our initial plans. I feel so grateful to have come across Hannah and if you are reading this right now, do not hesitate to book her services. I am going to keep Hannah in mind for any future events and will continue to recommend her services. My husband and I are forever grateful - thanks Hannah!
Absolutely wonderful. Everyone loved ceremony and cocktail hour music!!
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
Thank you so much! We honestly had a lot of fun. Congratulations on such a beautiful wedding!
Hannah rocks! She listened to exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour and brought it to live beautifully. Her violin skills are amazing and she is SO easy to work with. I can only recommend!!
Hannah was spectacular during our initiate wedding ceremony. She was professional and communicated clearly with us weeks prior to the ceremony. Hannah helped suggest other music choices for us, so we didn’t have to worry about figuring out the whole playlist, which was amazing. I would recommend Hannah to anyone!! 10 out of 10!
Hannah was great. I was planning a surprise romantic evening with my partner and she played along with it to ensure everything went well. Afterwards, she played the genres requested, and just about nailed all our favorites without even knowing what they were. From pop covers to classical, her music was warm, inviting, and really pleasant. Wound up having an amazing evening. Definitely going to book Hannah again - and if you’re debating it, let this be your sign to book her too.
An amazingly talented musician who was a complete pleasure to work with. Extremely communicative and accommodating.
Hannah was professional, she performed well and was friendly.
She's not only the best but very accommodating and plays extra music on the event ..
The music was perfect , the bride was so happy .. everyone loves the music ..
I must say ... she’s great ! Worth recommending.
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
Thank you! It was such a lovely and intimate ceremony. Thank you for choosing to book with me!
I could not of asked for a better experience when hiring Hannah as a violinist for a simple anniversary picnic I had for my significant other. Her euphonic melodies not only amazed my girlfriend and I, but had passerbys in the park stopping to listen. Punctual, professional and extremely pleasing.
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
I’m so pleased that I was able to help make your picnic special! You were so kind throughout all of our communication - it was truly a pleasure.
Hannah was everything we hoped for and more. Our guests enjoyed her performance very much and I was also impressed by her promptness and demeanor.
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
Thank you! Your event was so lovely, and I really appreciated all your warmth and hospitality throughout my time there.
We hired Hannah at the last minute to cover a violin part in our music video. With only a weeks notice, she was able to review and perform for the cameras. We couldn't ask for anything more. I'm sure the footage is going to come out great! Thank for being a part of our musical journey!
Best,
THE PĂC
Hannah performed beautifully at our wedding last week. She was professional and accommodated to our specific needs.
Thank you so much for all of your help Hannah, looking forward to working with you in the future!

I’m so glad we hired Hannah to perform at our wedding! She was very talented, accommodated our song requests and was very flexible with our uncertainty in schedule. The only thing I would change is to do a mini review of the procession plan but she improvised really well. I highly recommend Hannah!
Hannah's played well and listened to my melody requests. Unfortunately she was 50 minutes late to my event. Originally she was suppose to be playing when guests arrive to create an ambiance. So it did change the event with no music for almost an hour. Although her playing was nice it does not represent a professional person to arrive so late to an event you were hired. Be better prepared. I was dissapointed.
Response from Hannah LeGrand - Violinist:
Hi Cynthia,
I once again want to sincerely apologize for my tardiness. I just want to make sure all the details are being represented:
1. I was en route to arrive even earlier than requested, and I took the wrong exit. It happened to be the worst one I could’ve taken, and it set me back nearly an hour. This was a highly unusual and irregular occurence. I tried to communicate with you about what happened via phone but I couldn’t get a response. Even after I contacted you through the site itself, you saw it, but wouldn’t reply.
2. I reimbursed you for a full hour of playing (out of pocket) at the event itself. I didn’t feel it was fair for you to pay for an hour you hadn’t received, so it was one of the first things I mentioned upon my arrival.
I also want to add that I’m disappointed the full picture was not presented in your review - even after I believed we had spoken earnestly about it.
Thank you again for choosing to hire me. I certainly wish that it could’ve been a more positive experience.
Hannah Hijieh performance was wonderful ! She had a real stage presents. She was very professional, with a wide select of music that she knew without sheet music. She was able to take request and play them. She was friendly and on time. I will be having her perform again soon ! I highly recommend her to play for your event.

Price Range: $175 and up
Gig Length: 120 - 720 minutes
Languages: English, Spanish
I am extremely easy to work with. I can accommodate close to all music requests, and I respond to all inquiries promptly and clearly. I require that all music selections be confirmed three weeks in advance.
My attire and presentation will always be professional and “photo ready.” My setup is minimal. If I’m performing more than 3 songs, I will bring an e-reader and my own music stand. I prefer to memorize the music selections in order to provide the most organic experience.
I arrive at all gigs a minimum of 30 minutes before the start time.
Hannah LeGrand is an actively performing classical violinist and educator, based in New York City. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Violin Performance from the Greatbatch School of Music.
Hannah has worked with a number of reputable teachers and performers from institutions such as the Eastman School of Music, Frost School of Music, Syracuse University, Boston Conservatory, the Juilliard School, Mannes at the New School, and NYU. She has also attended Summer Strings at NYU, Meadowmount School of Music, and the Castleman Quartet Program, during the summers.
Aside from her classical background, Hannah also has experience in jazz, pop, and contemporary music. She regularly collaborates on new music with independent artists, and involves herself in a diverse number of projects ranging in style and genre. She also has started to develop a unique voice in the realm of electronic music, exploring how violin may be used in unique combinations with effects.
Hannah is also the founder of quartet.wav, a collaborative chamber platform which aims at finding an identity in the digital realm. The truest expression of the project will likely involve new music, and exploring new forms of using the string quartet.
I cannot perform outside in more extreme temperatures or weather, and I must have cover if there is any rain.
