Introduction: ATTENTION We pay for your messages on this site! Please message directly, and only to me! Hourly rate INCLUDES set up and break down time. I live in Nassau County, Long Island NY. I play the cello and perform classical music, pop music, jazz, film, oldies, classic rock, r&b and contemporary for weddings, corporate events, charities, concerts, engagements, proposals, studio recordings, birthdays, anniversaries, and more. I've been playing professionally for almost 10 years, and I have tons of experience to make sure your event or concert feel just right. I'm also a recording artist with an in home studio. Music is my life and I love to share my passion! -----Listen and watch my work here! cellistja dot com / recordings Instagram - @James.acampora Youtube - Cellistja -Packages I offer: (In order of popularity) Cello Solo (Using backing tracks if needed) Cello + Guitar Cello + Harp Cello + Piano Cello + Piano + Vocalist Violin Solo Cello and Violin Duet String Trio String Quartet DJ ***I can perform each part of the event with these groups, or have each musician play a different part of the event. I can make recommendations based on the length and style of the event. Please let me know if you have any questions! All musicians are amplified with a speaker system. I do not need electricity on site. I am fully insured and can provide a Certificate of Insurance with the venue. I do not provide microphones. ---Booking Process: My booking process is very simple, and I am very easy to reach! First I will discuss what music groups we need and check musician availability. I adjust my pricing according to distance of venue, time spent performing, size of group, instruments (larger instruments like harp and piano take more time to transport) and amount of material learned. (some pieces may need rehearsal beforehand, however this isn't common). You don't need to know your song requests immediately! At least a month ahead of time is ideal. Once we have an idea of what music is needed, I will then need the info below to write a contract. The contract contains the info to send me a down payment. Once I receive the down payment, I will keep in touch with you leading up to your event! I would love to schedule a phone call if you have the time!

It was an absolute working with James for my proposal. He was able to learn a specific song that was very special for my fiancé and I and played it beautifully on our special day. I highly recommend him and would love to work with him again for future events!

James and his team were a pleasure to work with. Not only was the musicianship suburb, it was reasonably priced, especially given the beautiful ambiance that Juneyt, the violinist, added to my "meet and greet". Juneyt arrived looking professional and appropriate, well ahead of the event so that he was the happy tune greeting my guests.

James agreed to play for my company event on extremely short notice, and was very easy to work with. He gave me the option to choose my music, but was also ready to play from his own discography which I appreciated. The group loved the variety in his performance: he would go from classical, to holiday music, to Disney! He even had backup music to play through speakers during breaks. James was a joy :) don't hesitate to hire him!
