Ronald is the complete package! Communicative, dependable and TALENTED! I contacted him on very short notice due to a cancellation from another musician. He memorized my special song and made the evening of my proposal a moment which my fiancé and I will cherish forever! Thank you so so much!!!

Violinist
Ronald's Violin/Cello duo was not only flexible but exactly the touch of "elegance meets college student" we needed for our awards ceremony reception. Students loved their renditions of different Top 40 hits along with their classical pieces. Would not hesitate to reach out to them again!
Classical Ensemble
Ronald’s performance at my mothers birthday celebration was stellar. He was well prepared with a repertoire of music that we were all very happy with. He demonstrated professionalism and appropriate etiquette at our gathering. On top of that, he speaks Spanish, so communication with other family members was perfect!
Thank you Ronald!
