As a versatile and classically trained violinist, I offer a diverse repertoire that spans from timeless classical masterpieces to popular rock, pop, jazz, and showtunes. Whether you're hosting an elegant wedding, corporate event, or private gathering, I tailor my performance to suit the occasion, ensuring the perfect soundtrack for your event.
Trained at the Manhattan School of Music, I’ve had the privilege of performing with symphonies and chamber orchestras, as well as playing for various private events, bringing a high level of professionalism and passion to every performance.
I’ve been to plenty of cocktail hours where the music fades into the background—pleasant, but never the focus. That was not the case with Mike. The moment he started playing, people actually stopped their conversations to listen. His performance had this magnetic quality—elegant, dynamic, and completely engaging.
What really stood out was his ability to set the perfect mood. He didn’t just play—he read the room, adjusting seamlessly between upbeat, lively pieces and more intimate, soulful moments. It was clear he wasn’t just providing background music; he was creating an experience.
If you want music that elevates your event rather than just filling the silence, Mike is the one to book.

When working with a new customer, I first discuss the event details—such as the type of event, venue, and any specific musical preferences. After understanding your vision, I’ll provide a tailored performance plan and pricing. Once we finalize the details, I will confirm the date, and any song requests can be discussed. I’m always available to answer questions or adjust details as the event approaches. On the day of the performance, I’ll ensure everything is set up and ready to create a seamless experience.
