Overview
Violinist with a strong classical background. I have decades of experience in symphony, small-group, and solo performance. I have played for many weddings, receptions, church services, senior living communities, and other events and enjoy a wide variety of styles - from classical to classic rock - not to mention Christmas music!
I can perform solo, with (high quality) backing tracks, or in collaboration with other musicians you hire. I play very well with others. ;-)
I am working on building a library on my YouTube channel. You can see a few selections by searching YouTube for "Michelle Gawith Violinist" or navigating here: (link hidden)

Response from Michelle Gawith - Violinist:
I apologize - I thought I had sent a reply, but apparently it didn't go through for some reason!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a blessing to be entrusted to help provide music for the memorial service. I enjoyed working with Karen, as well - she was a pleasure to work and play with. I am so glad that the music ministered to others, as well.
Blessings to you,
~ Michelle

What to Expect
I am happy to collaborate with you in planning the music for your event!
- I have played many weddings and am very comfortable with the planning and execution process.
- I am always very happy to use my musical training in a worship setting - whether as part of a church orchestra or ensemble, or as a soloist, or filling in as worship leader. (I can lead from the keyboard for songs that can be played from a chord chart.)
- I love to share music in senior living communities and have access to a lot of high-quality tracks to provide a lot of fun music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, as well as show tunes, crooners, etc.
- Whatever your event, I would be happy to explore how I might help you make it great with high-quality beautiful, fun, and inspirational music!

Additional Booking Notes
Because I'm currently working alone, I have very little requirements. However, if the venue is large enough, there may be sound requirements. I'm happy to discuss this with you.
