About
Baethoven is a touring violinist, singer, and guitarist whose performances captivate audiences worldwide. From humble beginnings busking in NYC’s subways for lunch money to NPR’s Tiny Desk, SXSW, iHeartRadio, Lincoln Center, and Rolling Loud, her music has reached hundreds of millions. Recently featured on country star Dasha’s RIAA-certified Platinum hit "Austin," she seamlessly blends classical virtuosity with the crowd-pleasing hits of the last 70 years—whether it’s Led Zeppelin, Lizzo, or Rachmaninoff. In fact, you can view her songlist of over a thousand songs. Available for weddings, corporate events, galas, parties, fundraisers and more, Baethoven delivers unforgettable performances—whether solo, duo, or full band with her network of world-class musicians. She also runs Baethoven Bookings LLC, providing top-tier talent for events when she’s unavailable. Beyond live shows, she creates custom audio, from violin recordings for records to personalized wedding songs. With a background in improv comedy and acting (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, UCB), she welcomes unconventional projects, from performing on gondolas to theatrical roles. Whether you need elegant background music or a rockstar presence, Baethoven has you covered.

Baethoven is professional and personable. She can go from background music to an array of various types of music. She knows what to play and when to play it based on the vibe of the crowd. My guests loved her. I watched several videos and Baethoven stood out. I will hire her again. 100% the best. Lady M. Thank you. I look forward to going to your own concerts in the future.

If you are thinking of hiring Baethoven for your wedding, do it! She was able to create the best environment and turn the chaos of the sounds of the beach in San Diego in July into a dream day for my wife and I (And our families are still raving about her). Her range allowed us to have every genre of music we wanted played on the day to happen and I still can’t listen to in da club or can’t help falling in love without thinking back to those moments of the day. This is the easiest person to talk to to help make your dreams for your day come true and words cannot express how truly amazing of an artist she is and such a pleasure to work with.

Details: Wedding ceremony • 51 - 75 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Other strings • Covers • Pop / top 40 • Oldies • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

Absolutely incredible performance and highly professional! Baethoven is honed and extremely talented in her art form and made our special day even more unforgettable for us and our family/friends. She also was able to play Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey songs that were not on her song list. Flexible and easy to work with - she works to ensure her customers needs are met from beginning to end, helping you make the most perfect playlist. Highly recommend hiring her for any special event/moment. Thank you again Baethoven!

Baethoven was amazing from the moment I inquired about her services until the moment she played such wonderful music for me and my girlfriends. My girlfriends parents are still talking about the moment weeks later! Baethoven was highly communicative and punctual. The music was even better! I am honestly looking for opportunities to utilize her services again. Well worth it if you’re thinking about entertainment via violin.

OMG SHE IS AMAZING!!! I had a Yule Ball Christmas Party theme for my friends, and she definitely blew all my friends away! She can play any type of music from memory! I made her own little set with an icicle stand and Harry Potter sheet music as well! Her live entertainment for the entire time was perfect! She brings her own wireless speaker and this really cool custom violin! She can even can control the volume just in case you live in an apartment with thin walls like me. It was a blast and such a delight to have her play!
