Introduction
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CONTACTING ME: (ESPAÑOL👇) Hi everyone! As you may know, thumbtack charges a fee every time we get contacted by someone, this why before contacting me please be sure of the following: - Your event is for sure happening and you are secure on the date and time. - You are sure that you want a violin and are aware that I don't play cello or other instrument (except for viola which I actually play) - My rate is within your range. My rate is on the low side for a classically trained violinist so I don't give discounts. Rates: $275 for one hour (an extra transportation fee may be added depending on the time, place, and parking availability) (ESPAÑOL👇) Music Entertainment: Hi everyone! I am Jesus Saenz, peruvian violinist based in NYC. I have been playing violin for over 20 years, and I hold degrees from the University of North Texas, The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and I currently play with the New Jersey Symphony. As a performer, I have traveled to over 25 countries with different ensembles. Throughout my travels, I have learned about the music and culture from remote communities in countries such as Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, etc. These experiences have broaden my overall musicianship, as well as my repertoire list. I will be happy to fulfill all your music requests no matter the style or genre. (ESPAÑOL👇) SOLO CLIENTES SERIOS!

Jesus, thank you so much for being part of our wedding day and for bringing your incredible talent to such a meaningful occasion. Your violin playing was absolutely breathtaking and added a level of elegance and emotion that words can hardly describe. You have such a gift, and it was truly magical to hear you play during our ceremony—it felt like every note spoke to our hearts.

I wanted a violinist for my proposal and I came across Jesus’ page and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. From the very start, he was incredibly responsive and professional. I messaged him at 1 in the morning and to my surprise, he replied to me immediately. So very responsive. He arrived at the venue 30 minutes before his time to set up, demonstrating his commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly. He also took the time to go over the proposal details with me, so very thorough. The music was really good and my fiancé loved it. I provided him with a playlist of songs I wanted played and he perfectly executed each song selection during the proposal. He definitely enhanced the proposal. I’d reserve him for any event in the future! He’s a true professional and a talented violinist who made our special moment even more memorable.

Jesus played violin for our ceremony and was punctual, professional, and played great music. We were able to select the songs we wanted without any issue, and the timing and flexibility during the event couldn’t have been better.

So I picked a time that was too early and the sun didn’t set yet. Since it was a proposal on a rooftop with candles I wanted it to be darker. He agreed to wait until sunset for no extra charge which was like an hour ,even though he had other stuff to do!! Amazing person, and the songs were great! Thank you for helping me do the perfect proposal!!! She said yes)))

Mr. Saenz was personable and friendly. He made my sister’s baby shower a memorable event. His performance was moving and entertaining. His reputar consisted of classical and contemporary music. It was truly heartfelt to see our family and friends of all ages entertained. We are truly grateful that he agreed to perform in our family celebration. We look forward to hiring him for future events.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I set up a trial lesson with the student with a discounted price. During this lesson, I typically like to discuss the goals and needs of the student along with their musical experiences. I then let them know what my plan would be for lessons going forward and then, I let the student decide how to proceed. The student has the freedom to reach back out to me or not.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    -Bachelor degree: Texas Christian University -Performer Diploma: Southern Methodist University -Master Degree: University of North Texas -GPD: Boston Conservatory at Berklee -Graduate from the Orchestra of the Americas Global Leaders Program
