Overview
Hi! My name is Melanie Elizabeth Bates. I am a Washington, DC-based attorney and owner of Melanie Bates Consulting, LLC. I am also a violinist dedicated to amplifying music written by Black composers.
Music has the power to transform our overall well-being. I seek opportunities to perform for senior living communities, assisted living facilities, and other nonprofit organizations.

We had the immense pleasure of having Melanie perform at my mother’s 75th birthday celebration, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment she began playing, the atmosphere transformed into something truly special.
Not only is Melanie incredibly talented, but her professionalism and warmth added an extra layer of charm to the brunch. I cannot recommend Melanie highly enough. If you're looking for a musician who can elevate your event with elegance, passion, and unmatched skill, look no further. We will forever be grateful for the magic she brought to such a milestone in my mom's life.

Melanie performed at my son's elementary school for Black History Month and was pleasant from the first communication of booking through her performance and on. She is an amazing violinist, and has a beautiful personality. I hope to hire her again in the future.
