Introduction

From humble beginnings busking in NYC’s subways for lunch money to NPR’s Tiny Desk, SXSW, iHeartRadio, Lincoln Center, and Rolling Loud, her music has reached hundreds of millions. Recently featured on country star Dasha’s RIAA-certified Platinum hit "Austin," she seamlessly blends classical virtuosity with the crowd-pleasing hits of the last 70 years—whether it’s Led Zeppelin, Lizzo, or Rachmaninoff. In fact, you can view her songlist of over a thousand songs. Available for weddings, corporate events, galas, parties, fundraisers and more, Baethoven delivers unforgettable performances—whether solo, duo, or full band with her network of world-class musicians.

Beyond live shows, she creates custom audio, from violin recordings for records to personalized wedding songs. With a background in improv comedy and acting (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, UCB), she welcomes unconventional projects, from performing on gondolas to theatrical roles.

If you are thinking of hiring Baethoven for your wedding, do it! She was able to create the best environment and turn the chaos of the sounds of the beach in San Diego in July into a dream day for my wife and I (And our families are still raving about her). Her range allowed us to have every genre of music we wanted played on the day to happen and I still can’t listen to in da club or can’t help falling in love without thinking back to those moments of the day. This is the easiest person to talk to to help make your dreams for your day come true and words cannot express how truly amazing of an artist she is and such a pleasure to work with.

Details: Wedding ceremony • 51 - 75 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Other strings • Covers • Pop / top 40 • Oldies • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

Baethoven played at our corporate awards show - kicking off the event and wrapping it up at the end. She was very professional, knew exactly what we were looking for and really elevated our event playing violin with tracks. I would hire her again.

Hired Baethoven to play for a friend with Dementia as a gift, for someone who has everything. She played (per my request) Frank Sinatra,Elvis Presley, Classical music and some other music she selected, all music my friend actually remembered. We were thrilled to spark that memory through music. I believe Baethoven can play all genre's of music though. Talented. She drove from Los Angeles to Rancho Mirage (2hrs). I wish I had pictures but to protect my friends privacy,we opted for no pictures, Baethoven picked up on that,I didn't even need to ask. I would definitely hire her again. I would also tell others to hire her.

Details: General event / party • 25 guests or fewer • 51 or older • Piano • Other strings • Vocals • Covers • Other • Other

Baethovan played at our holiday party for three hours and all the guests commented on what an awesome violinist she is! The music list was spot on - holiday classics and pop favorites. She was flexible in staying an hour later and adds a wonderful class and festivity to parties. Will use her again!

Baethoven was amazing from the moment I inquired about her services until the moment she played such wonderful music for me and my girlfriends. My girlfriends parents are still talking about the moment weeks later! Baethoven was highly communicative and punctual. The music was even better! I am honestly looking for opportunities to utilize her services again. Well worth it if you’re thinking about entertainment via violin.
