Introduction: SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CONTACTING ME: (ESPAÑOL👇) Hi everyone! As you may know, thumbtack charges a fee every time we get contacted by someone, this why before contacting me please be sure of the following: - Your event is for sure happening and you are secure on the date and time. - You are sure that you want a violin and are aware that I don't play cello or other instrument (except for viola which I actually play) - My rate is within your range. My rate is on the low side for a classically trained violinist so I don't give discounts. Rates: $250 for one hour (an extra transportation fee may be added depending on the time, place, and parking availability) - $200 for 30 min if the event is within 30 min away from La Guardia Airport (ESPAÑOL👇) Music Entertainment: Hi everyone! I am Jesus Saenz, peruvian violinist based in NYC. I have been playing violin for over 20 years, and I hold degrees from the University of North Texas, The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and I currently play with the New Jersey Symphony. As a performer, I have traveled to over 25 countries with different ensembles. Throughout my travels, I have learned about the music and culture from remote communities in countries such as Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, etc. These experiences have broaden my overall musicianship, as well as my repertoire list. I will be happy to fulfill all your music requests no matter the style or genre. I also play violin duo performances with my wife Kelley (@Queens Dynamic Duo), and our rate is $550 per hour. If you would like more information about it, find us on our social media. (ESPAÑOL👇) SOLO CLIENTES SERIOS!

Mr. Saenz was personable and friendly. He made my sister’s baby shower a memorable event. His performance was moving and entertaining. His reputar consisted of classical and contemporary music. It was truly heartfelt to see our family and friends of all ages entertained. We are truly grateful that he agreed to perform in our family celebration. We look forward to hiring him for future events.

We had no idea what songs we wanted and Jesus helped every step of the way! They kept our guests entertained when we were running a bit late (oops!) and figured out every cue throughout the ceremony. Jesus even brought his ukulele to play one of our favorite sweet songs. Would highly recommend!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I set up a trial lesson with the student with a discounted price. During this lesson, I typically like to discuss the goals and needs of the student along with their musical experiences. I then let them know what my plan would be for lessons going forward and then, I let the student decide how to proceed. The student has the freedom to reach back out to me or not.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    -Bachelor degree: Texas Christian University -Performer Diploma: Southern Methodist University -Master Degree: University of North Texas -GPD: Boston Conservatory at Berklee -Graduate from the Orchestra of the Americas Global Leaders Program
