Overview
A stylish, modern, and innovative take on string music. Quartetto Solo is a unique and exciting concept that is over a decade in the making. A single, experienced, professional violinist performs along with virtuoso virtual musicians to create the sound of a full string group. You hear several musicians, but only pay for one. This creation provides the excitement of a live string band with a violin soloist front man.
Upbeat and modern or elegantly classical, I am the perfect choice for your event.
I have performed for over 1000 Chicago weddings and events, it is something I truly love and am very passionate about. Performing for a couple's most special day is magical, and quite an honor.

I can't say enough about Adrian. He was courteous and professional from our first contact until we shook hands after the reception. He communicates clearly, responds quickly and does what he promises. His versatility with regard to musical genres was exactly what we needed since we love everything from jazz to classical to contemporary to R&B. His sound was full and clear and his technique impeccable. He was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He plays violin with a very clear track to complete the sound of a string quartet.

Thank you so much, Neil! Yours was one of my favorite weddings this year, you are a true gentleman and have wonderful family and friends. I hope to work together again one day. All the best...
Adrian was the best violinist I have ever worked with! My company coordinates over 40 conferences a year and Adrian gave one of the best performances we've ever seen. Our attendees loved him! If you need to work with someone in Chicago... Hire Quartetto Solo!!!

Thank you so much, Giovana! It was a true pleasure to perform for you and your team, and your gracious, appreciative attendees. I hope to work with you again in the future :)
I’ve hired Adrian of Quartetto Solo for hundreds of weddings and events over the last fourteen years. He is an excellent violinist and our clients have always had nothing but great things to say about him. Adrian is a true professional, and knows what it takes to make an event run smoothly. He is my first choice when booking a violinist for weddings or any other event, and he is a real asset to the String Theory Chamber Ensemble. I recently had the chance experience Adrian’s new project, Quartetto Solo, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement.

My husband and I had Adrian play for our small wedding and reception. We (and our guests) were blown away by his performance and kindness. He absolutely nailed the ambiance we requested for our wedding. Also learned additional songs as we requested. We are so happy we had him as the entertainment for our special day. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!

I hired Quaretto Solo for my intimate/micro wedding he was the highlight of the evening! I was able to pick out music from a long list he had provided. He was also very responsive to my messages via the portal. Everything was perfect and the music was incredible and so memorable. I have received so many compliments on how they enjoyed a violinist at my wedding versus a traditional DJ. I would 100% consider hiring him again for my next event.

Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thanks, Jessica!
Adrian was exceptional from start to finish. He played for a memorial and could not have been more professional under the circumstances. He played beautifully. We requested he play one song and he came through. In addition to the "one song" request, he played a plethora of classical hits. He was extremely patient through the booking process and very easy to communicate with. He has a positive and calming presence which is always welcome when coordinating large gatherings. Thank you so much Adrian. You truly made the memorial so special!

Very cool concept where there is one musician but it sounds like a quartet playing. He arrived on time and played what was requested. Would definitely book again if we have another event in the Chicago area.

Adrian played so beautifully at our wedding! I am so happy he was there to make our day even more special!

We hosted a reception for our son’s law school graduation. The first hour was a contemporary violin playlist. Adrian got great reviews from our guests and from our venue staff. I was told that our decor/music ( particularly Adrian) and background music of the event was voted in the top three favorite events at the venue. The background music that followed was mainly progressive/deep house and experimental jazz. Also got many compliments as a fresh choice for this type of gathering. Age range of guests was late twenties to thirties then to the sixties up range.
The evening was socially energetic.
Violinist
Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thank you, Renae! I had a blast meeting, and performing for, your family and friends. Great venue. All the best :)
From the very beginning of our dialogue, it was delightful to interact with Adrian (Quartetto Solo). His friendly nature came across immediately and his music samples truly spoke for themselves. My wife and I wondered how the sound would translate over to our wedding cocktail hour/reception, but we can truly attest to the fact that it sounded even better in person. Quartetto Solo's performance was the perfect touch to our day and our guests raved about it. In addition to his exceptional playing, Adrian was so easy to work with -- an ideal client on what could've been such a hectic day. Adrian was low-maintenance, flexible, and such a pleasant person to be around.

Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thank you, Rosa! It was a pleasure to play for you and the BMO family. Looking forward to the next one :)
Adrian made our ceremony so special! Everybody was raving about how incredible he performed and how unique of an addition the violin was to the ceremony. I wish that I could have actually been in the audience listening to him play. By what everyone was saying, it was magical. We appreciate Adrian so much and everything he did to make our day incredible!
Violinist
My husband and I selected Quartetto Solo to curate the music for our wedding, and we're so happy we did. Not only is Adrian an incredibly talented musician, but he also demonstrated professionalism and punctuality. He even managed to make the music sound magical amid the noisy airplanes of the air and water show that was taking place on the day of our wedding. He was also flexible when we wanted to play songs outside of his regular repertoire--they were all performed beautifully. We would highly recommend Quartetto Solo if you want fabulous music to accompany your event that is well-planned and well-executed.
Violinist
Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thank you, Qudsiya. Your wedding was unique and memorable, I won't soon forget it :) All the best, and Happy New Year!
Adrian played for our wedding ceremony and reception. He was professional every step of the way. He showed up early for set up and practiced with the pianist who we also hired. They worked so well together. He was warm and friendly to everyone he interacted with. His selections included a wide range of music and he learned a few new ones just for our wedding. I made a few modifications and he was incredibly accommodating to switch up the plans. I had a few special requests to play songs during certain events of the evening and he executed those requests flawlessly. He was truly the highlight of our night. Several guests asked where we found such a talented musician. I would hire him again and if he was playing at local public events I would attend because that is how talented he is. You won’t have any regrets hiring Adrian. I am so happy to have found this gem of a violinist. He made our special evening a night to remember.

We hired Adrian for our Inaugural, 2nd and 3rd Race and Health Equity awards celebration, and each time, he did an amazing job! He is professional, arrives on time, pleasant, and easy to work with. Each time that he has performed for us, we have received so many compliments from our guests of what an amazing, skillful and talented musician he is!!! Our attendees consist of people from various ethnic backgrounds, and they are so impressed with how his performance helps to set the atmosphere for a great event.

Quartetto Solo was awesome. My guest really enjoyed the entertainment and couldn't stop raving about how much they enjoyed the cocktail hour.

His song list is huge and we appreciated the variety of music. He plays beautifully! Love the strings he plays behind the music as well!

We hired Adrian to perform at our wedding in September of 2023. He was amazingly easy to coordinate and work with. He also provided us with a PA system for our ceremony, which made things very easy for us.
This isn't even to mention the music itself, which was of course beautiful and made our day all the more special. 11/10 and would recommend to anyone!
Thank you Adrian!
Violinist
Adrian was amazing for our outdoor wedding ceremony has a great playlist to choose from. I highly recommend him for a wedding & a party ~
Wedding Band, Violinist
Adrian was fabulous, so easy to work with, and thoroughly prepared for the event, he came in, set up, and played. Our event ran a little past the scheduled end time but I told him he didn't need to stay on. He was packed up and out the door and I don't think anyone but I saw his departure.
In terms of music, it was perfect. A lovely sound and mix of songs complemented my event and his Pachelbel Canon (one of my favorite pieces and a special request) was superb.
I wish I booked more events in town because I'd love to hear Quartetto Solo play more often.

Oh my goodness!!! I can’t say enough of how wonderful the music of Quartetto Solo was. My daughter’s bridal shower was over the top fantastic thanks to Adrian.

We had Adrian support our wedding at the Garfield Park Conservatory and it was unreal! Not only was he so professional arriving early to setup, but required very minimal support and made our experience unforgettable. His wonderful selection of music he knows allows for a good variety and mix between classic rock to current Taylor Swift. We appreciated his support and the performance he provided was world-class! We would recommend Adrian 10 out of 10!
Wedding Band
All went as planned. Honeymoon evening was a total success with the help of this talented musician. Thank you so much!!
Violinist
Used Quartetto Solo for my wedding in downtown Chicago. Originally found him thru a wedding gig site, and selected him based off of a list of songs in his repertoire that coincidentally mostly followed what I was hoping to hear and honestly because of the fantastic price point compared to a full string quartet.
Ended up loving the service even more, as Quartetto was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and reliable on the day of. The pieces sounded absolutely fantastic, and Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls as I was walking out, and then Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift for my wife made the whole wedding ceremony just magical
Songs outside of his repertoire are $25 extra per piece to learn was the only drawback
One Man Band, String Quartet
Adrian is extremely talented and we enjoyed being serenaded during our evening candle lit dinner reception. I highly recommend hiring Adrian to elevate your event. Thank you again!

Thank you, Tammy! Coming from the Director of Catering and Events at The Blackstone Hotel, this is high praise :) Looking forward to working with you again...
If I could give more then five stars, I would!
I hired a violinist to play for a funeral memorial service for a family friend. Adrian was more than I could have ever hoped for. He was polite, professional, and extremely prepared. He communicated quickly and succinctly to all my messages. He arrived early for our event and was totally self sufficient.
Once he began to play the sweet sound of his instrument filled the space and provided an atmosphere of peace to the grieving family. His music was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't have prepared myself for a better outcome. I am so pleased with the decision to hire a professional. If you are reading this do yourself a favor, go above and beyond and hire this company... I can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed in the service and quality of music at you receive

Adrian was incredible. I used him for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I got so many compliments on his music- multiple guests told me it was their favorite part of the night! He was super easy to communicate with, sounds beautiful on the violin, and has a diverse playlist of both classical and contemporary options. I highly, highly recommend Adrian if you want to add a really special touch to any event you may have.

We can't express enough how much we enjoyed having Adrian play at our wedding. From the beginning everything was smooth.

The full sound of his setup really did make the room sound full and provided great sound for the wedding reception and the following cocktail hour. Our friends and family all enjoyed and complimented his music. We will not hesitate to use Adrian again for any future events.
Thanks again for being part of our special day!
Violinist
We booked Adrian to perform during our wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour. Everyone (my now wife and I included) was completely blown away with how beautiful the music was and how it was a wonderful addition to the ceremony making the moment that much sweeter. During our cocktail hour, we were taking photos so we didn't get to enjoy to much of it. Luckily, we did get to hear from the outside a bit and it sounded absolutely amazing!! All of our guests were talking about how great Adrian was the whole night! He's a true professional and if you're looking to book a violinist for your wedding or event, 10/10 would recommend Adrian!
Violinist
Beautiful ambient violin music, performed by a true artist/musician (Adrian), created the perfect setting for my daughter's champagne brunch bridal shower. It brought elegance and enchantment to her event and everyone truly enjoyed themselves. I spoke to Adrian before the event, expressed the mood I wanted to achieve and he took it from there. The music was perfect and Adrian is a true professional!
Thank-you so much for sharing your gift with us!
Violinist
Adrian is a professional! There is not one aspect of his service that is not 100% spot on. His communication is timely, his music is wonderful, his timeliness is impeccable, and his ability to read the event is awesome. His violin music with piano accompaniment offered is exactly what any large or small event can use to add a fun and sophisticated aspect - he even learned new songs for a nominal fee for our event. Finally, his value for his fees is beyond a great deal! Loved Adrian and would have him back for a backyard BBQ or another family wedding. He is versatile!
Violinist
Adrian was thee BEST! He is professional responds to emails in a timely fashion and shows up and performs his BEST! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. Our guest were in aww walking in and hearing him perform. I’m trying to think of my next event where I can have him again. Don’t second guess book him, you won’t regret it.
Violinist
Adrian was wonderful! His music is so beautiful and was exactly what we were looking for for our event. We loved that his song list included both new, older, and classical music to provide some variety in what was played and allowed for guests to recognize the music.

Quartteto Solo elevated our event. He is very talented, professional and he was on time. He gave us his repertoire and we were able to choose our favorite tunes.

Adrian was easy to plan and communicate with. He arrived on time and delivered a performance that was exactly what I asked for. Several of my guests informed me that they enjoyed Adrian's unique skillset!
Violinist
Myself & my now husband had a great experience with Adrian. We booked him very close to our wedding date; with a last minute decision to have a live component during our Cocktail Hour at our wedding. He did a perfect mix of Irish Celtic & contemporary music. It was the perfect decision for our Chicago St. Patrick's Day - wedding. Adrian was so easy to communicate with, very professional, fun, worked well with our DJ. My only regret is that with the venue setup & our schedule- I didn't get to see Adrian in action. Many friends & family have all given rave reviews. I can't wait to see my videographer's footage & have my fingers crossed Adrian will be featured. I would highly recommend Adrian & would work with him again should I have an event arise with a music component.
Violinist
My guest and I really enjoyed the violin music during cocktail hour & dinner. Beautiful and elegant music with a mix of contemporary and classic tunes. He communicated with me well throughout the process and made sure everything was in writing to avoid any confusion. Only wish that I would have reserved him for longer. Would definitely recommend! A+
This was such a nice addition to our Christmas Brunch. We got a lot of compliments from our guests. We will definitely use Adrian again. I know some of our guest will use him also.
Highly recommend!

Quaretto Solo was not able to perform at our function due an injury. He sent his friend Zara to perform and she was wonderful. Everyone who heard her enjoyed the performance.

Cannot possibly speak more highly of Adrian. He did a phenomenal job during our very strange zoom wedding. He was truly perfect, and carried the show through some tech issues, as well as some nervous speakers. All of my zoom guests could hear him the entire time and loved the music. Just a great job well done.

My fiance commissioned Adrian for my birthday-- it was an amazing surprise! Adrian was very professional, and very knowledgeable. He made sure to coordinate all the details prior to his arrival. He provided my fiance a list with the genres/songs he performs to choose according to my liking. It was truly a great experience, and we plan on hiring him for future events.
Violinist
Adrian was a dream to work with. I chose him because of his good reviews and after listening to his recordings. His violin playing was fantastic but equally impressive he learned the bride and groom’s favorite song and agreed to play several Irish tunes not on his playlist.

Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thank you, Vicky! It was such a nice garden wedding, and such a perfect day. Thank you for the experience and the generous tip :)
Adrian was super easy and great to work with, he learned a new song just for my wifes processions at our wedding. I would def recommend him and look forward to using him again when the chance arises.
Violinist
I can't say enough good things about Adrian's performance. We had a small outdoor wedding, and having him play before, during, and after the ceremony completely elevated the event. Even the other vendors were impressed! Adrian was punctual, polite, and of course, an excellent musician. Added bonus- his repertoire includes rock/grunge songs (our first look was to November Rain, much to the amusement of our bridal party!)
Violinist
There were a few hiccups but overall, everything went well.

Adrian played the violin at our wedding for our cocktail hour, our first dance, and throughout dinner. He has an extensive collection that he plays from and it is guaranteed to add elegance to any event. We had a royal wedding theme, so it topped off the evening and made it extremely elegant. Additionally, Adrian was prompt and very responsive to requests and messages. 10/10 would highly recommend. He made the evening extremely memorable.

Adrian, we are so thrilled that we saw you performing in a park a few weeks before our wedding! We weren't sure how we were going to handle our ceremony music, and you were the perfect solution. We love your library of contemporary songs and how the violin and your backtracks put a different spin on them that is still romantic and familiar. Our guests raved about how much they liked your music during cocktail hour as well. Thank you so much, and I will definitely keep you in mind for any future events!!
Violinist
Adrian elevated our May 30th, 2020 street wedding (during the COVID 19 pandemic) to a special place. His soulful sound, stature, warmth, and kindness was the talk of the wedding. We had to plan and alter our wedding several times and made a late call to add live music. With our affinity for cello and violin, we did quick research and found Adrian (Quartetto Solo). His reviews were tremendous and he did not disappoint.
Throughout the entire process he was communicative, cordial, flexible, and professional. We'll go to him every time we need that special sound. We give our highest recommendation.
Violinist
Adrian played at my wedding. He worked with me to get my aisle song just right, and he also learned new songs that are very personal to my family and created a beautiful track. He is AWESOME, responds quickly, and even played longer because I was late to my own wedding (oops)
String Quartet
Adrian with Quartetto Solo was great to work with on our back to back event. Adrian arrived on time and was very professional during all interactions. His music and entertainment was enjoyed by all of our guests throughout the evening. Adrian welcomed special requests from our guests.

Thank you, Marina. It was so nice to meet you and perform for your guests. Happy 50th to your husband!
Adrian is amazing. His music is wonderful and truly made our party very special and memorable. We received so many complements on the music . We especially liked his ability to play pop music complained with more traditional music. What a great blend! We would him again in a heart beat!

Thank you, Kim! I had a great time. Your home is lovely and your friends were so nice and appreciative. I hope we get the chance to work together again some day :)
Adrian did a fantastic job at our club's anniversary luncheon! Everyone enjoyed his music! Adrian plays the violin but has background instruments to make it sound like a four string quartet.

Adrian is extremely professional, amazingly talented, very personable and lights up the room with his beautiful music.

Response from Quartetto Solo:
Thank you, Rick!
Professional, punctual, and personable, Adrian provided a unique listening experience as a one-man quartet, blending his live violin with an electronic accompaniment. The classical melodies added a touch of elegance to our event, while the contemporary tunes provided a playfulness and sense of familiarity among our guests. It was light listening, helping create a calm atmosphere for those in attendance. All our guests were complimentary of his work, and there would be no hesitation to hire him again for a future occasion, especially given his easy-going persona and demeanor. It was a real pleasure to have him be a part of our outdoor event; simply fantastic! And overall, you really can’t argue getting “four” musicians for the price of one!

About
A stylish, modern, and innovative take on string music. Quartetto Solo is a unique and exciting concept that is over a decade in the making. A single, experienced, professional violinist performs along with virtuoso virtual musicians to create the sound of a full string group. You hear several musicians, but only pay for one. This creation provides the excitement of a live string band with a violin soloist front man.
Upbeat and modern, or elegantly classical, I am the perfect choice for your event.
What I do is unique. Other violinists simply play over the original song, so you have to hear the singer singing the melody while the violin is just playing the same thing as the singer! When you hire a violinist, the star of the music should be the violin, not some singer of a song you could have just played off of your phone. My band actually arranges and records the music for the songs that I play, so you hear original acoustic instrument versions backing my performance. The result is amazing, and sounds just like my full band is there with me. It is a significantly richer musical experience.
I have led two highly successful string groups in Chicago for almost two decades, The Amadeus Chamber Ensemble, and currently String Theory Chamber Ensemble, Chicago's most popular string ensemble. I have received a Bachelor's degree in music performance from Chicago's prestigious Roosevelt University, and have played with many of Chicagoland's finest orchestras. Quartetto Solo is my latest creation, my solo project. I have performed for over 700 Chicago weddings, it is something I truly love and am very passionate about. Performing for a couple's most special day is magical, and quite an honor.
