Song List
Start planning your event with this list of suggestions. This is only a sampling of what's available and the sky is the limit as far as what I can perform for you. My repertoire encompasses hundreds, even thousands of songs, so please just inquire if your dream song isn't on this list. Even if a song just topped last week's charts, chances are that I can adapt it for the violin. Or, simply craft your occasion by choosing from these popular classical and contemporary favorites.
Please check out the searchable list of selections below (still in progress) and sort by category to find your favorites!
