Xinou Wei played the Bruch Kol Nidre marvelously for our Yom Kippur Evening Service. He was a joy to work with, was totally professional, and played with beautiful tone and so much emotion. I highly recommend him.

Thank you rabbi Hausman for the extremely kind review. It was so special to play for this most important day. And I feel privileged to experience that as a musician. Thank you for having me, I’ll cherish it!
Xinou was punctual, kind and most of all an amazing violinist. He played a mix of classicals and pop music, and was also able to play songs from a playlist I sent over earlier. You can tell he's an expert. He was the highlight of the event for sure and everyone loved it.

Thank you so much for your very kind feedback Melissa :) have a wonderful week!
We hired Mr. Xinou Wei as our entertainment for our wedding rehearsal dinner and he was the star of the night! All of my guests hummed and sang along to his entire set which included Italian classics, romantic soundtracks, and popular Taylor Swift melodies. Xinou Wei was the highlight of our night and left us kicking ourselves that we didn’t find out about him sooner and book him for our wedding. I look forward to working with him again in the future!

We recently hired Xinou for our wedding cocktail hour and Ceremony and we were very pleased with the experience. For starters, Xinou is very responsive and worked with us to address questions over the phone and text prior to the big day. He was able to play a large variety of music and the guests loved the experience. He had a big portfolio of videos to give us as a demo and he played just as well in person. Highly recommend for all others.

Amazing experience from beginning to end.

Thank you so much for the kind words Pontus. It was so memorable and moving, a day I will never forget. Feeling very fortunate to have done it for an amazing couple like the tie of you, the energy and love was contagious :) all my best!
XinOu and his team exceeded all expectations. He maintained clear and open communication in the months leading up to our wedding day. He was very friendly and professional throughout each step. We requested a few songs that were near and dear to us, and XinOu not only accepted the challenge of learning multiple unfamiliar pieces but played them beautifully on our wedding day. We highly recommend him, 10/10.

The violinist performed alongside a rapper and was able to "harmonize" with him.
Large repertoire of songs that were very beautifully played.
It was an exceptional experience to have Alt-Wien play for us and it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime.

XinOu was amazingly talented and very professional. He graciously asked all the right questions to make our wedding experience unforgettable. He played the complicated compositions we requested with ease. His music was beautiful. I would gladly hire him again and most likely will for future events. :)

Response from Xinou Wei Strings:
Thanks so very much dear Chris! Hope you had a nice and memorable anniversary/thanksgiving. My very best to you both! :)
XinOu Wei...What a fantastic musician. Asked to perform out of his "comfort zone" (songs not traditionally performed by a classically trained violinist) but certainly doable by this trained musician ...and the evening was a Home Run. Having such a young, energetic performer was just perfect for our event. A professional who loves what he does...and it shows. A young person with such a great personality is really hard to find these days and he's just an all around great guy!!

Xinou
I had prepared a surprise Dinner for our 20th Anniversary on the Beach. He worked with me to walk up to us on the beach and surprise my wife. All played out great and he played for the allotted time and even worked with me to continue longer than what was first set up. We were enjoying our wine and then he followed behind us and escorted us back to our house while playing the Violin. It was great and the Neighbors loved it as well. Thank you very much again for this special memory.

I had the pleasure of hiring Xinou for my 9th Wedding Anniversary where I surprised my wife (and the other restaurant attendees) with a surprise solo performance of our Official Wedding Song. Xinou was perfect, on time and professional. Needless to say that day easily and instantly became one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Absolutely satisfied with the services and will recommend Xinou to anyone looking.

All best,

Xinou is friendly, punctual, and a thoroughly practiced, yet emotive violin player. Would absolutely hire him again in a heartbeat as he is easy to work with and needed very few takes in our recording session. Seasoned with great ability and also charming and musical.

Dear Nick, thanks so much for your very kind words! Hope you are having a fantastic end of the year time, and really cannot wait to run into you anywhere in the city :)
We had our wedding vow renewal ceremony about a month ago and wanted something soulful to be there during. We flew XinOu and his Quartet from New York where they live to Florida, let me just say-it was worth every penny!!! His choice of music is so romantic and suiting. My guests are still talking about it to this day. Thank you XinOu&Quartet Alt Wien for your incredible gift to us!!

Dear clients, greetings to you! It is with great pleasure to meet you on this platform. This is XinOu Wei, a violinist based in New York. I have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I led my 12-piece string orchestra in concert at Carnegie Hall with the legendary pianist Richard Clayderman for his “Timeless Romance” concert tour-one of the biggest shows in North America. We would be the most wonderful choice for your occasion. We are virtuosic players who can play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level, be it pop or classical. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio quintet, string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. I’m happy to share with you our playlist of songs in which you may choose from, I can also take a number of requests if the songs of choice are not included in my list. Though Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. I grew up having them in my ears and it is always a highlight for me when asked to present a evening of Viennese music-waltzes, Polkas, Marches, and Operetta excerpts of Lanner, Strauss, Lehar, Ziehrer Schrammel, Heuberger, and Hellmesberger. Many of these works were originally intended, and realized by small ensembles such as a quartet or quintet in Hotels, Cafes, balls, and soirées in Vienna. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.
As a violinist, I have played in all prominent New York concert halls-as well as in Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, London, Lucerne (with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle), and have worked with the greatest conductors on earth, such as Sir Simon Rattle, and Riccardo Chailly. I have performed in a private recital for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine, as well as leading at America-Israel Cultural Foundation's 75th Anniversary Gala Celebration at Lincoln Center in New York, hosted by Itzhak Perlman. As a recitalist and chamber musician, I have performed with some of the foremost musicians of our day, such as James Ehnes and David Aaron Carpenter at Carnegie Hall.
I have made my home in New York since 2011, and since then have led numerous orchestras as concertmaster, those include Camerata New York, Garden State Philharmonic, Long Island Opera, Loft Opera, Central Park Symphony, Adelphi Orchestra, Glen Rock Pop, Livingston Symphony Orchestra TriCities Opera, Syracuse Opera, and most recently-New Jersey Festival Orchestra.
