Music by Ross

Introduction: I have over 15 years of experience playing the cello and piano. I am primarily looking for gigs at the moment, but also interested in doing lessons. I have performed with orchestras such as the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, the NIU Philharmonic, the Dupage Symphony Orchestra, and the Wheaton Symphony Orchestra. I have experience in a variety of gigs including weddings, parties, and charity fundraisers. I am very professional and easy to work with. I am always willing to take requests provided they are done in advance, and I have a lot of repertoire to choose from. Most of my music is classical, but I do have experience playing popular music as well (I have a book of David Bowie songs for piano that rocks). My primary instrument is the cello, but I am also well-versed in piano. I am available to do solo performances on cello or piano, as well as cello with piano accompaniment and chamber music (usually violin, viola, and cello). I know many musicians in the community, so it is no problem to find additional players for your event. Please be aware that if you require additional musicians, the rates will go up. My rate is $150 per event, but this is negotiable depending on travel time, duration, setting, etc. I am aware that it may seem expensive, but remember that musicians have to dedicate many years of practice to get to a professional level and that we have expenses as well. If you are interested in having me perform for your event, let me know and I'm sure we can work something out.
