Juilliard Musician

Unfortunately, our booked musician was in an accident a day prior to the event. The gal that was sent as a replacement was not very pleasant throughout the day. It was a disappointment.

Sho was wonderful to work with before then.

I hired Sho as a string trio for my wedding and could not recommend him more. For an incredibly reasonable price, Sho allowed me to make unlimited requests for custom song arrangements in order to manifest my dream wedding. From Kpop and Kdrama OSTs to Pokemon, there was no song that Sho couldn't arrange--even the ones without any pre-existing sheet music or covers online. Throughout the process, Sho was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind.

Regretfully, Sho was not able to make it to my event due to an accident that happened the night before. When I first received the message, I panicked wondering what might happen with a last minute change. However, there was no reason to be worried! Sho found a replacement so promptly and despite his absence and the last-minute stand-in, the string trio still arrived on time, fully prepared and rehearsed. Thanks to Sho's efforts and arrangements, I was truly able to have my dream wedding with beautiful arrangements of everything from SS501 to TXT to Seventeen. My biggest regret from the wedding is having an outfit change and having to miss half of the songs I requested for cocktail hour! I wish I could get a recording of what the string trio played so I can go back and listen over and over again!

Enjoy having him perform for my event

Best experience for using first time this website.
So professional & talented . Lots of great music choices, best music and excellent artist. Highly recommend.

This was an almost spur of the moment proposal and the violinist was very accomodating and supportive! Thank you!

I hired Juilliard Musican for my vow renewal ceremony. Sho is an amazing and very talented musician. He was playing before and during our ceremony in the church and he made it even more memorable and special to us. Everything sounded so beautiful . I am very happy that I found him and strongly recommend hiring him.
Thank you again!!!!

All I heard were compliments about his music and ability. He was flexible, on time and overall a great performer.

Sho was exceptional! Other than a few requested pieces, I left it up to Sho to play what he thought was appropriate. I can't say enough about how wonderful he was. He is certainly a master on the violin!

Sho is an excellent performer. He was easy to work with, communicated well , and was flexible in accepting my music requests. All my guests raved about Sho, stating it reminded them of Bridgerton.

I would definitely book Sho again.

Sho performed at my wedding ceremony. He sounded excellent. My guests felt like they were on Bridgerton!

I really appreciate Sho learning a song that was requested. It meant the world to us and sounded beautiful. We would definitely hook Sho again.

Sho really outdid himself. Sho made my proposal beautiful and it wouldn't have been the same without him. He impressed all of my guests and most importantly, my fiancée.

Sho was courteous, on time and professional. He is also an excellent violinist!!

We booked Sho for our Central Park wedding and are so glad we did! He was incredibly responsive during our planning, had a giant library of songs to choose from (we had all "special" songs we wanted!), and did such a fantastic job on the day of our event. He helped make our ceremony so special. We're glad we booked him!

Sho was amazing. He arrived on time, quickly set up and entertained my guests for an hour and a half.
His music was impeccable and all my guests complimented him.
He’s an accomplished professional who really set the tone for the rest of the evening. I HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely use him again.

Sho helped make my proposal perfect. My new fiancée said his performance was the icing on top!

Sho was great at communicating and working with me to make sure we had the right pieces for each moment during our session. He arrived early and all around was a pleasure to work with.

I booked Sho for my cocktail hour during my wedding and he was absolutely amazing! I requested his piano trio (violin, cello, piano) and they played so beautifully. Sho is was so easy to work with and is very accommodating. He is a professional for a very reasonable price. There should be no doubt to book him for your event!

Sho as an absolute pleasure to work with and brought my wedding vision to life. He played the instrumental of my wedding song down the aisle and timed everything perfectly proactively coordinating with our DJ. We booked him several months in advance which can be rather anxiety provoking with time passing but Sho stayed in touch and confirmed everything several times before the big day. The music was beautiful and we would absolutely recommend and hire again.

Sho was on punctual and was a great addition to the night. He played beautifully and everyone enjoyed him.

Sho was an amazing violinist. Not only was his music exceptional, but his showmanship and personality were also captivating. He had a radiant personality that anyone could appreciate. I can't wait to book him again for my next event!!!

Sho was wonderful. He showed up as scheduled, very professional and played beautifully. We would highly recommend for any event.

The musician was absolutely wonderful. Arrived on time, was very flexible. adapted well and played flawlessly.

Sho was an absolute delight! He was super responsive, enthusiastic and a joy to work with. Our guests enjoyed classic and modern songs alongside our engagement party dinner, he truly brought our event to life. Highly recommend!

Sho and his ensemble are extremely talented, kind and talented. My wife and I had a pleasure coordinating with Sho. He is very easy to talk to, very responsive and loves what he does. We would highly recommend working with Sho for your special event.

Sho put on an amazing performance. Our cocktail hour for our wedding was phenomenal thanks to the talent and professionalism that Sho brings. Everyone raved about how Amazing the Cocktail hour was and how much they enjoyed the music. We would definitely love to hire him again in the future and would highly recommend Sho to others in the future.

Sho was extremely professional, punctual and easy to work with. He worked seamlessly with our event coordinator. He had a huge selection of music and was able to play every song we wanted. We would recommend him to anyone! We booked a string quartet for our wedding. He and his musicians were dressed in suits, brought their own chairs and a battery-powered microphone for our officiant. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Sho.

Great people, great communication, great performance, highly recommend!

We hired Sho to play during my mother’s funeral. Sho was very professional. He came early to the church to make sure he knew the layout. He played an amazing rendition of Hallelujah after the eulogy. Thank Sho for your professionalism during a difficult time.

Guests were blown away from his performance! Every one came up to me to comment on how beautiful every song he played sounded and how it was the perfect touch of elegance during dinner. Recommend 10000%

Sho was a pleasure to work with. His beautiful violin playing added the perfect touch of romance to our wedding.

Sho is a gifted violinist and essential to any wedding/occasion! He performed at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and was incredible! He was able to customize the ceremony procession to make it truly special and an amazing experience for my guests. He was gracious and receptive to my guests requests and I have been getting constant texts/calls telling me how amazing he was! He took the stress out of the wedding planning process as he provided a music sheet of his popular requests which was beyond helpful. He is responsive to questions/requests at all times of day and was able to make recommendations based on his vast experience. On the day of my wedding he was punctual and was so easy to work with! I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Sho was UNBELIEVABLE! I hired him for my proposal and he made the event truly special! He was responsive when you needed him to be, answered any questions, and helpful in every detail of the event planning - even when it came to the proposal itself - offering tips and ideas about how to make the event stand out. He provided a music sheet of popular songs and was even willing to learn and play a few new songs that I requested. He truly went above and beyond what was required of him. He showed up to the event a half hour early to assist and made sure everything went according to plan and was there every step of the way.

TAHNK YOU SHO!

Excellent, highly recommended, easy to work with, he did a phenomenal job.

Sho was awesome! He was always very responsive to me which was important as we had to change up the venue last minute due to weather. He was punctual, very professional, and most importantly his music was excellent. He was able to play the specific songs I recommended and his background track elevated them. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone in need of a violinist.

We had Sho be part of our wedding day!! He was very easy to deal with, responsive from the beginning and very very accommodating with our list of song requests. He got there ahead of time, such an amazing addition to our perfect day!! All the guests loved him!!

I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to make a statement for their event.

Thank you so much Sho!

Sho was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His beautiful violin style made our engagement so special!

I hired Sho for a Central Park wedding. Through the process, he made planning very easy. He was responsive, flexible and easy to work with. On the day you of my wedding, Sho and his fellow musicians arrived early and were dressed perfectly. Several member of the wedding party were impressed by the quality of his musicianship. After all the help, flexibility and communication Sho turned out to be phenomenal musician. He brought our Central Park conservancy garden wedding to another level! I strongly recommend him and will hire him for future gigs!

Sho was amazing! If I could give him more than 5x stars, I would. He played his beautiful violin at my Grandma's memorial service. He made a heart wrenching day beautiful with his music. He played my 2x requested songs and also gave additional recommendations that were perfect. He was communicative and also early to the service so that we could discuss any details of the day. I am so glad Sho chose me! I am looking forward to working with him again someday!

He was very professional and kept the audience engaged. Played excellent selections, I would definitely hire him again

Beautiful experience!!! Added the perfect touch to my party!!! Quick to reply, easy to work with!

Although Sho was unable to perform for us due to falling ill, his replacement David, was very professional and performed the songs we requested. Very polite and talented. Will definitely recommend him for events.

I have used Sho in previous events so I knew it will be a success.

Getting a violinist for the party was something different and special, and sho did not disappoint. He was amazing and I would recommend him for any event . Well done sho!

I celebrated my husbands 50th bday and Sho was very amazing and wonderful! He was very professional and did such an outstanding job that we kept him for one more hour and my guests were just delighted! We danced from his music and everything was just on point! We will be hiring him soon for a wedding on November :)

Cho's tone playing in my pit for a demanding Sondheim show was really wonderful!

We hired Sho for our October 7th, 2018 wedding. He was amazing and our guests absolutely loved him. He provided that authentic wow factor we were looking for during our ceremony and cocktail hour. My husband and I could hear him playing while on the beach taking pictures. He turned up the classical to some soft rock and 2018 hits. He was professional, on time and available to discuss song selections. I could not recommend him enough if you are looking for a musician. Thanks Sho

Sho is and was absolutely amazing at my sister’s wedding. He was prompt and ready to play! All of the guests raved about him. Would recommend him to anyone needing a violinist.

Danny and I were so impressed with Sho and guests loved his music! He provided soft and romantic songs during our ceremony and turned it up during cocktail hour!! We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married.

Thank you Sho!!

From the first message I received from Sho, he was extremely pleasant and informative on the various musical selections he can play. His experience and professionalism through my vetting of violinists was exemplary. Sho was very responsive to my messages and made himself available for phone calls as well. On the day of the proposal, he was right on cue with my requested song which brought my now fiancé to tears. Sho’s performance was the perfect background music following the proposal as we took photos with family and friends. I highly recommend using Sho’s services.

I would ask Sho again anytime, thank you for making the day special!

The performance was astonishing, all my guests enjoyed the beautiful performance. I recommend anyone to trust Julliard. He’s very trustworthy and was at my wedding on time ready to perform.

Thanks so much! She loved your playing. It was truely spectacular!!!

Sho was incredible and absolutely exceeded our expectations! All of our guess were fascinated by his performance and loved the fact that he did covers of Disney and today’s hit songs as well as classical pieces.

I would highly recommend this musician. He was responsive to all my emails and accommodating to all my requests. Came early, was prepared and the guests loved him.

Sho went beyond my expectations and was amazing!

Sho was amazing. His choice of music for the wedding was spot on. He was punctual and professional. We would definitely use him again should the occasional arise. Simply wonderful.

I was searching for a NYC-area violinist to play at my book launch party, and Sho was everything I could have ever asked for. He was kind, prompt, enthusiastic, and of course, an absolutely incredible violinist. My book follows the structure of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, and Sho was excited to create a set list that fit in with the theme of the book, including playing a few portions of the sonata. If you are looking for a top-notch, brilliantly talented violinist to play any event, you can trust Sho to meet all of your expectations and more.

Excellent!! Loved his choice of music and his talent.

I requested Juilliard Musician for a surprise proposal at a restaurant and he truly made the moment extra special. He arrived exactly when he said he would and showed great flexibility when things as last minute changes were made to the original plan. This moment was a dream come true for my fiance and I and it would not have been possible without Juilliard Musician. And oh yeah! How could I forget! His music was phenomenal!

Sho was so great to work with - professional, arrived on time, great disposition and he is an amazing talent! We were all thrilled with his performance and want him back ASAP!

Sho is extremely professional and talented! He followed up with us often and sent us audio samples of him playing. His performance was outstanding at our wedding ceremony. All the guests were impressed! Thank you, Sho for a beautiful experience!

Wow. Sho was absolutely amazing! I wanted to just stay and listen to you play the violin after the ceremony. It was breath taking. Thank you so much for making my event memorable. You are truly an amazing violinist.

I would highly recommend him to play for your wedding or any event! He was just amazing!’

Great communication. Awesome performance. Professional. Got there very early to set up. Definitely will be using his services again. Made it first dance amazing and memorable exactly what we wanted thank you so much Sho

Sho, a Julliard trained violinist, brought his truly inspiring artistry to life at my daughter's wedding. He was punctual in arriving at the venue and was prepared with the pieces we had previously discussed. His technique is exquisite and his musical versatility vast, ranging from classical to pop. The classical processional pieces were very moving. He even had the music for "Crazy in Love", which he played a rousing version as requested, for the wedding recessional. He continued with a delightful range of pieces throughout the cocktail hour. Sho was an absolute delight to work with and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any event.

Sho-- is perhaps the most talented musician that I've ever come across. Our event was amazing thanks to his performance! Every one of my guests was blown away by his performance.

Absolutely outstanding. The quartet was prompt and played beautifully for hours. Their musicianship was superb and they played everything we requested. I highly recommend.

Absolutely magnificent. He was the perfect touch. Very talented. Very personable. He provided beautiful music for our wedding.

The Day was Perfect and topped off by Beautiful Music,, i am so Happy we used this site,, Mr. Sho Omagari,

We hired Sho in early May to perform as a string quartet at the cocktail hour for our wedding, and we could not be happier with his performance! I love classical music but do not know string quartets as well, so Sho helped recommend some songs that would fit well. He was always very responsive and professional in communicating while planning the event. And best of all was the performance, as the quartet looked and sounded superb! It is clear that they all love music and are very talented and professional. I will highly recommend Sho to anyone in the future!

Sho helped create amazing emotions with his music that will stay with my fiance and me forever.

Sho was extremely helpful throughout the entire experience; informing me about certain permitting rules and regulations. Sho was also very flexibile with song choice. He played a mix including the Beach Boys, Aerosmith, Don Diablo, John Legend, and Thomas Rhett. I would highly recommend Sho for anyone desiring music at their event.

Sho came on time, set up quickly and played absolutely beautifully at our ceremony. Our guests gave us so many compliments about him. He has an extensive repertoire with all types of music. He is very talented and sweet. We will definitely hire him again for an event!!

Was wonderful and amazing. More than we could've ever expected. the music was fantastic and my wife enjoyed the night tremendously. the most skilled an amazing violinist anyone could ever hope for. No question you should book this guy for any venue any event you are going to have. He is head and shoulders above anyone else.

Sho is an amazing artist with unbelievable talent. He was prompt, courteous, and very professional. He made my surprise engagement an event to remember. Sho played for two continuous hours with music chosen off his extensive list of great songs. Our guests (40+ individuals) could not stop complementing him on a wonderful job.

As my review and previous reviews state, Sho is simply amazing with unbelievable talent. I look forward to booking him again for future engagements and wedding parties.

Thank you Sho, truly.

Professional and extemely talented musicians. They made my ceremony and cocktail hour. I always knew I wanted live strings as I walked down the aisle. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing, elegant entertainment.

Sho was incredibly easy to communicate with and always responded promptly within a day. His performance was amazing!
