FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My per hour is $150 to $350. The price depends on complexity of the performing service. For example: if that is a wedding ceremony or a cocktail hour that require light to moderate difficulty background music, then it is $150 to $250 per hour of the service. If the customer would like to have a concert-like event when I perform solo and virtuoso program which requires serious preparation, then it is charged higher and up to $350. Musicians like myself invest considerable amount of time for practice and preparation and that is part of the fee and knowing that can help the customer to be certain that I am going to be doing maximum work for them.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always ask in detail what customer's needs and vision are for their event. I listen to their ideas and suggest options. I am consistently in touch with the customer to define what has to be prepared for their event. There is a contract that a customer and myself sign and that is a description of what my service is and what my responsibilities are and what kind of payment is decided.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a concert violinist with extensive performing and educational background. I perform solo and as a part of chamber ensembles. I am honored to serve as a concertmaster of the Livonia Symphony Orchestra and play with many other orchestras of Metro Detroit area. I have Doctorate degree in violin performance and I am a recording artist on Blue Griffin label. My CD "Schumann's Enigma" is internationally recognized.
