Mary is a versatile Violinist with a beautiful tone offering solo violin with backing tracks (some of which are recorded herself) including classical, jazz, Modern Popular songs, Film and TV, and Disney music. She provides a high quality pat tested speaker system which can be used for events of up to 500 people.
Mary studied at Trinity College of Music in London where she was the youngest person to win the TCM Soloist competition in John’s Smith Square. She now performs as a soloist, chamber/orchestral musician and as a session Violinist, more notably she has worked on Littlewoods and Oatibix adverts, with the bootleg beatles, and once for an episode of Rogue Traders! She has also performed live on 'Later Live with Jools Holland'.
She performs with various ensembles and orchestras, including the Kings Chamber Orchestra, New London Soloists Orchestra, Garden Opera, and Adoramus Orchestra, which she often leads.
As a soloist and as part of a violin Piano duo Mary performs with Pianist Merel Van Der Knoop on board P&O ships, concert venues and care homes.
Mary aims to fulfil clients musical wishes, and can learn and get backing tracks for most things, especially if it's either a song or classical music. Please ask if you don't see something particular you are looking for. As long as a track is available or it is easy to record, Mary will be happy to learn up to 5 new songs that aren’t on the playlist. Mary only performs inside with her classical violin, but now has a beautiful wooden electric violin and battery operated amp for performance and with this set up will happily play outside under cover in dry weather.
Mary was amazing. She played absolutely beautifully and helped to give the perfect tribute to my Granny. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I play for as long as the client requests but the wedding packages are based on specific times that are stated by each package.
Yes I have my own PA with two speakers. I also have an electric violin and battery powered amp for outside situations.
Yes I do.
I can fit into any space really and can adapt the equipment used to fit the space.
It's very likely that I will be able to play it. Just let me know what the song is and I will look into it for you.
It depends on how long I am playing for. If I was playing for an hour I would take a 5 min break.
