In Sydney you can find me playing at weddings for String Musicians Australia or in concerts at Angel Place and the Sydney Opera House. I am often involved in recording movie soundtracks with symphony orchestra at Fox Studios, and I have recorded albums with Australian singers such as Jack Carty and Katie Noonan. I am a busy teacher as well as performer - I have several violin and viola students and the next generation show some serious talent! I'm also into yoga and pilates and in my "free time" I teach body balance classes a few times a week. This keeps everything in balance. 2.

What is your favourite event that you like to pl...

The two inner parts that allow for greater harmonies, are the 2nd violin and viola parts. We always recommend hiring a complete string quartet, as it allows for the fullest and richest harmonies. Most songs are written for a full string quartet, which means that trios and duos will be reductions, and as a result, will be missing harmonies and some moving parts.    All our recordings on our website are of our string quartet. For those who are more budget conscious, we offer trio and duo options. A string duo consists of two instruments - a violin and a cello, whilst a string trio consists of three instruments - two violins and a cello. The range of music tha...
