Repertoire

General Background Music

I can play classical, jazz or a combination as you wish.

I have years of experience playing for all kinds of events and choose suitable pieces, for example:

Light Classical: Minuet by Boccherini

Romantic: Massenet Meditation

Relaxing Jazz: 'Wave' Bossa Nova


Bridal Entrance, Signing of the Register and Couple's Exit

Your choice for these is very important to me.

Perfect short pieces are listed here, with links to many recordings.

Although they are generally played by larger groups, the beautiful tunes work well for solo violin.
The following recordings were made the Ambiance String Quartet.


Pachelbel's Canon. Beautiful photos from France by Martin Edwards.






Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by JS Bach. Lovely photos from Villandry, France, by Martin Edwards.
